Discovery of in vivo Chemical Probes for the Nervous System
Funds optimizing an already-validated hit compound into an in vivo chemical probe for a novel brain target.
A chemical probe is not a drug, it is a tool that lets researchers see whether hitting a specific brain target actually does anything in a living system. This notice funds building that tool, for targets nobody has probed before.
It is not a starting-from-scratch award. Applicants are expected to already have, in hand, validated hit compounds ready for chemical optimisation, plus the bioassays ne…
Chemical optimisation of an existing validated hit compound into an in vivo chemical probe for a novel brain target, and discovery or validation of novel biological targets informing brain disease mechanism studies, relevant to the missions of the National Institute of Mental Health, National Institute on Drug Abuse, National Eye Institute and National Institute on Aging. A clinical trial is not allowed.
