Foundation Mission
Identify and support the development of therapeutic options for dogs with cancer that are innovative, have limited side effects and will prolong life
Research Funding & Focus
Research proposals that are designed to make an impact on how canine cancer can be treated are encouraged. Since many conventional cancer therapies (chemotherapy, radiation) suppress and paralyze the dog's immune response to the cancer, the focus of the Foundation's funding is on projects that can strengthen the dog's immune cells to fight the cancer. Many immune treatments that work for human cancer patients could be used for dogs as well but they have never been considered or tested in a scientific manner.

Grant Application
The Lee-Klingemann Canine Cancer Research Foundation funds research in immunotherapy for canine cancer, focusing on effective, safe, and affordable treatments that prolong life of the dog and maintain the quality of the remaining time. We invite applications from diverse researchers, prioritizing pre-clinical projects with potential for clinical development. Studies using human immune-reactive proteins to boost canine immune cells are also welcome.
