This grant is for advancing drug repositioning and combination therapy development for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (AD/ADRD). It aims to support rigorous preclinical testing using mouse models for drugs or drug combinations already in use for other conditions, or investigational drugs predicted to be effective against AD/ADRD. The initiative also encourages testing of these drug candidates in combination with non-pharmacologic interventions. The core purpose is to establish strong proof of concept, facilitating rational drug repurposing and the development of new combination therapies for the treatment and prevention of AD/ADRD, ultimately leading to robust translational outcomes.

| Description: | This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications that propose to use mouse models to conduct rigorous preclinical testing of drugs or drug combinations currently used for other conditions, as well as investigational drugs at various stages of clinical development, predicted to be efficacious in AD/ADRD. This initiative will also support preclinical testing of repurposable or investigational drug candidates in combination with non-pharmacologic interventions leading to robust translational outcomes. The central goal is to establish robust proof of concept that will enable rational drug repurposing and combination therapy development for the treatment and prevention of AD/ADRD. |
