Research is the key to build better, healthier horses, and there is no better way to demonstrate that point than with results. Each year funded research focuses on both the impact and the quality of the science for a wide range of equine health issues. Here are just a few specific ways Grayson-funded research has impacted equine athletes.

The forerunner of today’s Grayson-Jockey Mr. Mellon requested that double that amount be raised in response, Club Research Foundation reflected and this endowment drive was successfully concluded during the concerns of an era now passed, and yet 1995-96 fiscal year. The $1 million was double matched, as members the aims of the founders are as applicable of The Jockey Club and other contributors donated more than $2 million. today as they were at that time. In 1940, a number of leading sportsmen had been discussing for years a method In 1999, Mr. Mellon passed away leaving $2.5 million of supporting research into the health and welfare of the horse. Admiral to the Foundation's endowment. In 2000, the Foundation Cary Grayson was connected to some of the formative stages which led created the Rokeby Circle as the designation for those eventually to the establishment of the equine research foundation named who contribute $10,000 or more in a given year. for him. The American Thoroughbred Breeders Association launched Rokeby is the name of Mr. Mellon's beloved a campaign to raise $100,000. The Jockey Club, under direction of Virginia estate. Mr. William Woodward Sr., was among the initial respondents, pledging 20% of the total. The Grayson Foundation became a reality in 1940, Drs. Gary Lavin and Larry Bramlage reorganized the Foundation’s process with Jock Whitney serving as the initial president. of evaluating grants in 1999. Instead of having separate committees of academicians and practicing veterinarians, a single Research Advisory The first grant was made before the year was over, a $1,000 donation to Committee (“RAC”) was created. The RAC includes 32 individuals the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School to continue its work representing various research specialties and veterinary practices from on periodic ophthalmia. In 1940, the horse and mule were still deeply across North America. Each year, the RAC convenes in January to involved in military defense, and the scope of the Grayson Foundation's evaluate all proposals submitted by the research community. The RAC efforts went far beyond the Thoroughbred, to all breeds, although the spends three days poring over the projects and rates them top to bottom, impetus came from leaders in Thoroughbred racing. Early in its recommending the best to the board of directors. The board then meets history, the Grayson Foundation sought to disperse $100,000 annually to determine how many projects can be funded in that year. in grants to specific research projects. Its success in this goal resulted in support for a number of projects which represented steps forward, In 2004, The Oxley Challenge was initiated. Under the direction of among them being the development of vaccines against Equine Viral Foundation board member John C. Oxley, his family’s Oxley Foundation Arteritis and herpesvirus infections, determining causes of viral abortions pledged $1 million over four years contingent on the Foundation raising leading to development of the most effective vaccine yet developed, and a like amount from new income sources. The Foundation was successful influencing estrous cycles in mares to increase fertility. in that match, and so received $250,000 from the Oxley Foundation in each of four years. The Jockey Club created The Jockey Club Research Foundation in 1984, and five years later it was merged with Grayson, to be known since then In collaboration with The Jockey Club, the Foundation coordinated and as the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation (GJCRF, the Foundation). underwrote the first Welfare and Safety of the Racehorse Summit Grayson had a half-century background in research matters, and (“Summit”) in 2006.

Dr. Gilbertie will be continuing her research on the antimicrobial properties of platelets to support her PhD thesis in Dr. Schnabel’s laboratory.”
9 The Cycle of a Grant
Application Since 1999 the Foundation has funded 241 grants, averaging $1,000,000 annually in awards for the last five years. The average amount funded during the past five years has been $111,600 per grant. For 2018, the Foundation received 52 applications from 33 different institutions and 10 countries. All applicants must comply with the regulations pertaining to animal use in the proposed study, which is the INSTITUTIONAL ANIMAL CARE AND USE COMMITTEE (IACUC) who must review and approve the research project prior to funding.
RAC Scoring The Research Advisory Committee (RAC) is a mix of 32 equine scientists and practitioners capable of judging the merit of the most sophisticated proposals with clinical specialists both from university clinics and private practices. The group includes representation of the major clinical disciplines such as surgery, internal medicine, and reproduction, along with the academic disciplines of pathology, immunology, microbiology, etc, with geographic diversity to reflect the importance of various local problems.
There is a multi-layered review process for each grant starting with the identification of experts on the subject matter and potential conflicts of interests within the RAC. Each grant is initially assigned four reviewers. The reviewers will individually score the grant based on: (a) scientific approach, (b) overall impression, (c) impact, (d) feasibility and (e) budget. Each grant is scored numerically and given a written review. The RAC members access and read all applications prior to the review meeting.
Final Review During the RAC meeting, the essential activities are to discuss each proposal with the entire committee and rank the order for all acceptable proposals. The group endeavors to reconcile mean scores between specialties to assure that one discipline deviate significantly than another discipline. Once grants are ranked numerically to assure that each grant is ranked correctly for its strengths and weaknesses, each grant is then compared to its neighboring grant. If a grant is moved in the ranking it must be reassessed at each placing, compared to its higher and lower neighbor, to assure that the placing is correct within the consensus of the group.
Funding The recommendations of the RAC are presented to the board of directors for final review, with announcement of awards, typically near the first week of March. The funding cycle commences April 1, with three equal payments made through the year.
A timeline is incorporated into the application document so that all investigators are aware of the schedule. The applicant in the original application predicts a schedule of progress. A progress statement is required on November 1 of the original funding year so that any problems with the investigation are identified early and adjustments made. Satisfactory progress must be documented in order to continue receiving funding.
Second year funding must be approved by the Foundation board following recommendations from the GJCRF office.
