Overview

The 'Drug Discovery for Nervous System Disorders' is a grant opportunity with no allowance for clinical trials. It is a reissued version of PAR-19-147. The main goal of this funding is to promote the discovery of groundbreaking compounds that can potentially prevent and treat nervous system disorders.

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Institute on Aging (NIA) sponsor the grant, aiming to initiate research into several areas. These include the identification, design, synthesis, and preclinical testing of potential therapeutic compounds. Additionally, the grant supports initial hit-to-lead chemistry to enhance the activity of compounds against the targeted disorder.

The grant also covers later-stage lead optimization to boost efficacy and improve drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics. The sponsors are particularly interested in projects that introduce innovative methods for identifying possible therapeutic agents.
