Section I. Funding Opportunity Description
Institute Interests
NIMH: The NIMH is especially interested in applications for novel, clinically-relevant targets with the goal of transforming target discovery into therapeutic treatment of mental disorders such as depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, panic disorder, autism, etc. (see From Discovery to Cure: Accelerating the Development of New and Personalized Interventions for Mental Illnesses). Proposed projects should be relevant to NIMH's mission of supporting basic science discoveries and translating these discoveries into new therapeutic interventions that will relieve the suffering of people with mental disorders. Investigators who are interested in developing novel and robust assays to reveal changes in neuronal and/or glial function may apply to PAR-15-066. Projects aimed at the discovery of in vivo chemical probes should consider applying to PAR-17-336. Projects aimed at the discovery of cell-based chemical probes should consider applying to PAR-17-335. Projects aimed at early stages of drug discovery and development should consider the Drug Discovery for Nervous System Disorders PAR-16-041 (R01) and PAR-16-042 (R21), National Cooperative Drug Discovery/Development Groups (NCDDG) for the Treatment of Mental Disorders, Drug or Alcohol Addiction PAR-17-186 (U19) and PAR-17-185 (U01). Details on these and additional funding opportunity announcements and therapeutic discovery resources are listed on the NIH/NIMH Therapeutics Discovery Research webpage. Further information on NIMH research priorities can be found in the NIMH Strategic Plan, Strategic Research Priorities, and Interventions Workgroup Report. Applicants are strongly encouraged to discuss applications with NIMH staff listed in Section VII - Agency Contact(s) Scientific/Research Contacts prior to submission to determine alignment of the planned studies with NIMH priorities and to assess whether this or other NIMH funding opportunities are most appropriate.
