Grant Overview
Indiana's target outcomes center on measurable reductions in shelter euthanasia rates through shared data systems among municipal and nonprofit facilities. The state tracks intake and outcome statistics through the Indiana Board of Animal Health, providing a baseline against which network improvements can be assessed. Research publications supported by the program must report changes in these metrics rather than process measures alone.
These outcomes matter because Indiana maintains a higher proportion of open-admission shelters than surrounding states, resulting in documented seasonal spikes in intake during kitten season. Counties along the Ohio River border experience additional intake pressure from cross-state transfers. Publications that quantify how shared inventory systems reduce duplicate transfers directly address these operational realities.
Implementation requires applicants to demonstrate existing data-sharing agreements with at least three Indiana shelters before fee support is approved. Eligible applicants include academic researchers at Purdue University or Indiana University, state agency staff, and employees of shelter networks. The application must include a data dictionary compatible with the state's reporting format.
Indiana's outcome requirements differ from those in Michigan and Ohio by mandating use of the state's centralized shelter reporting portal rather than independent platforms.
Economic anchors include the automotive and manufacturing sectors that influence local funding for animal services, while infrastructure factors encompass the state's dense interstate highway system that enables rapid animal transport between facilities. Demographic patterns of population growth in suburban counties around Indianapolis shape the demand for adoption-focused research outputs.
