Innovation Grants to Nurture Initial Translational Efforts (IGNITE): Assay Development and Neurotherapeutic Agent Identification
Funds building the assays and running the screens that find drug candidates for neurological disease — the on-ramp to NIH's Blueprint network.
IGNITE is a set of NIH awards designed to get a project to the starting line of a bigger translational programme. This one covers the earliest stretch.
It funds developing in vitro and ex vivo assays, then running iterative screening to identify and characterise potential therapeutic agents for neurological or neuromuscular disorders.
The destination is explicit and worth knowing before you star…
Developing in vitro and ex vivo assays and conducting iterative screening to identify and characterise potential therapeutic agents for neurological or neuromuscular disorders, advancing a project to the point where it meets the entry criteria for the Blueprint Neurotherapeutics Network or another translational programme.
