Issued by
National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
Purpose
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), in conjunction with the NIH Molecular Libraries Program and other participating NIH Institutes, intends to issue a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to encourage investigators to form collaborations with an established academic, nonprofit, or commercial HTS screening facility that has the requisite expertise and experience to implement HTS-ready assays for the discovery and development of small molecule chemical probes.
Through this planned FOA, NIH wishes to stimulate research in 1) discovery and development of novel, small molecules for their potential use in studying disease treatment relevant to the missions of the participating NIH Institutes, and 2) discovery and/or validation of novel, biological targets that will inform studies of disease mechanisms. Emphasis will be placed on assays that provide new insight into important disease targets and processes.
This FOA plans to utilize the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Grant (R21) award mechanism. The FOA is expected to be published in December 2011 with the first receipt date planned for February 2012.
Research Initiative Details
