From 1978 to 1982 he was a Professor and Director of the Veterinary Clinical
Immunology Laboratory that he established in the School of Veterinary Medicine,
Auburn University. He accepted his current position as Professor and Chair of
the Department of Pathobiological Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine,
UW-Madison in 1982.
At the time he accepted this position he was the only member of the
department which now has many faculty, staff and students, including faculty in
the Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. Dr. Schultz also holds faculty

Editorial Boards and National and International advisory panels.

**The Rabies Challenge Fund ? A Note From Jean Dodds
The Rabies Challenge Fund Charitable Trust will determine the duration of
immunity conveyed by rabies vaccine. The goal is to extend the required
interval for rabies boosters to 5 and then to 7 years.
This project depends primarily upon grassroots gifts for funding the costs of
conducting the requisite vaccine trials. Our contributions to date have come
mostly from kennel clubs and private individuals.
The Challenge fund is a federally registered 501(c)(3) charitable
organization [Fed. EIN # 84-6390682]. Our costs to begin the first year of the
study are $177,000; to date we have raised $48,600. This vaccine trial cannot
begin without funding for the first year.
The Rabies Challenge Fund needs to raise a total of $1.5 million to complete
the 5 and 7 year challenge studies, the adjuvant study, and to establish the
vaccine adverse reaction reporting system. With your help this can be
accomplished.
This vaccine research project to address the duration of immunity actually
conveyed by rabies vaccine will be performed by Dr. Ronald Schultz, Chairman of
Pathobiology at the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine.
The second phase of the project will finance a study of the adjuvants used in
veterinary vaccines, and establish a federal adverse reaction reporting system
for rabies and other vaccines.
The University of Wisconsin will donate all of the necessary overhead costs
for these studies which normally amount to 48% of the direct research costs.
Furthermore, Dr. Schultz, the Principal Investigator, has volunteered his
time in conducting the research. My staff at Hemopet are donating their
efforts as well.
The only monies used from the pre-grant funds were IRS fees associated with
applying for non-profit status. All other monies donated to The Rabies
Challenge Fund Charitable Trust will go directly to funding these studies.
The Rabies Challenge Fund needs to raise a total of $1.5 million to complete
the 5 and 7 year challenge studies, the adjuvant study, and to establish the
vaccine adverse reaction reporting system. With your help this can be
accomplished.
