This grant, offered by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Institute on Aging (NIA), supports the discovery of novel compounds for preventing and treating nervous system disorders. It encourages research spanning the entire early drug development pipeline. Specifically, funding is available for projects focused on the identification, design, synthesis, and preclinical testing of therapeutic candidates. This includes initial ‘hit-to-lead’ chemistry to enhance compound activity and later-stage ‘lead optimization’ to improve efficacy and pharmacokinetics. Additionally, the grant supports initial drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic (DMPK) studies. A strong emphasis is placed on proposals that introduce innovative methods for identifying potential therapeutic agents against these debilitating conditions.

| Description: | Reissue of PAR-19-147 This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) supports the discovery of novel compounds for the prevention and treatment of nervous system disorders. Through this FOA NIMH and NIA wish to stimulate research in: 1) Identification, design, synthesis, and preclinical testing of compounds of candidate therapeutics; 2) Initial hit-to-lead chemistry to improve activity of compounds against the target of interest; 3) Later stage lead optimization to improve efficacy and pharmacokinetics; and 4) Initial drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic (DMPK). Emphasis will be placed on projects that provide novel approaches for identifying potential therapeutic agents. |
