Dolly Green Research Foundation awarded a total of $210,560 to fund research in equine veterinary medicine for the 1999-2000 grant year. The Dolly Green Research Foundation (DGRF) is affiliated with the Southern California Equine Foundation Inc. (SCEF), and was established subsequent to a bequest from the late Miss Dolly Green. Miss Green was a longtime racehorse owner with a special interest in equine welfare.

The SCEF is a non-profit organization providing hospital services on the Southern California Thoroughbred racing circuit. The SCEF has a long history of service to the racing industry and the equine athlete, including development of Kimzey equine ambulances commonly used in North America and funding of original research by Dr. John Pascoe that first identified the prevalence of exercise induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH) in racehorses.

The Dolly Green Research Foundation emphasizes research beneficial to the health and welfare of the Thoroughbred racehorse.

Principle investigators receiving funding and their focus of research are as follows:

Antoinette Marsh, MS, PhD, University of Missouri: Development of a Sarcocystis neurona-specific recombinant antigen immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and monoclonal antibodies for the improved diagnosis and treatment of equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM)
