Two of the grant winners—Dr. Ned Patterson of the University of Minnesota and Dr. Sam Long of the University of Melbourne—will work to understand the underlying mechanisms that predispose dogs to epilepsy and search for new drugs.
Patterson and Long received $104,781 and $116,000, respectively.
The money was awarded by the AKC Canine Health Foundation, a Raleigh, N.C., organization that manages research donations from individuals, dog clubs, foundations and corporations.
