HISA Releases Request For Furosemide Research Proposals

Thoroughbred with veterinarian | Sarah Andrew

HISA released a request for proposals concerning research over the administration of furosemide to Thoroughbred racehorses during the 48-hour period before the start of a race, the organization said in a release late Tuesday.

This research is required as part of HISA's Congressional mandate. The conclusions will be used to guide HISA's Furosemide Advisory Committee in its recommendations to their Board on the next course of action regarding the administration of the drug.

Responses are due by Nov. 15 at 11:59 pm (ET). Questions pertaining to the process for submitting a response and final proposals can be directed to Dr. Jennifer Durenberger and/or Sam Reinhardt.
