Stiftelsen forskningsfondet kreft hos hund

Stiftelsen forskningsfondet kreft hos hund (the Foundation Research Fund for Cancer in Dogs) is a Norwegian non-profit foundation dedicated to advancing research on cancer in dogs. Its stated purpose is to promote research into canine cancer in order to help reduce cancer-related illness in dogs and thereby improve both their quality of life and their lifespan. The foundation operates as a grant-making body rather than a research institute: it receives financial contributions, mainly donations from private individuals, and distributes funds to research purposes once a year. The foundation was established in 1997 through a collaboration among several central Norwegian veterinary and canine organizations: Norges veterinærhøgskole (NVH, the Norwegian School of Veterinary Science), Norsk Kennel Klub (NKK, the Norwegian Kennel Club), Smådyrpraktiserende veterinærers forening (SVF, the Association of Small Animal Practicing Veterinarians), Veterinærinstituttet (VI, the Norwegian Veterinary Institute), and Veterinærmedisinsk Oppdragssenter AS (VESO, the Veterinary Medical Contract Center). This broad founding coalition reflects the foundation's position at the intersection of veterinary medicine, dog breeding, and companion-animal practice in Norway. The foundation is governed by a board of four members, who are appointed by the founding organizations. Its activities center on fundraising and the annual allocation of grants to research projects, making it a small but focused philanthropic vehicle within the Norwegian veterinary research landscape. It maintains a public web presence at krefthoshund.no, through which it communicates its purpose and accepts support.
