This NCATS grant, part of the ASPIRE Collaborative Research Program, facilitates translational and clinical research between NCATS intramural scientists and the extramural community. This grant is for developing innovative virtual approaches to discover new chemistries designed towards previously undrugged biological targets across various human diseases and conditions. NCATS intramural scientists have established an integrated platform incorporating physical and virtual modules for automated synthetic chemistry, AI/ML, and biological testing. This funding opportunity supports intramural-extramural collaborations specifically to enhance the platform’s virtual capabilities. The anticipated outcome includes identifying, designing, synthesizing, and validating new chemical entities as starting points for drug development against novel targets, thereby expanding chemical space for drug screening.

| Description: | The purpose of the ASPIRE Collaborative Research Program is to facilitate translational and clinical research between NCATS intramural scientists and the extramural community to develop approaches that will enhance our ability to discover and develop new chemistries designed towards previously undrugged biological targets (i.e., biological targets with no known drugs to modulate their function) across many human diseases and conditions. NCATS intramural scientists have established an integrated platform consisting of physical and virtual modules for automated synthetic chemistry, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), engineering, informatics, and biological testing. This FOA will support intramural – extramural collaborations to develop virtual modules that will enhance the platforms capabilities (see companion RFA-TR-21-001 for physical modules). The anticipated outcome includes identification, design, synthesis, and validation of new chemical entities as starting points for drug development of novel targets, and the expansion of chemical space available for drug screening. |
