Next Steps Programs- Advancing Drug Discovery to Identify New Therapies

The intent of this funding strategy is to help advance translation of discoveries into the clinic by supporting:

1) needed preclinical resources and tools for the research community to identify and begin to develop new therapies and

2) infrastructure to analyze and build large datasets to identify better diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. 

Advancing Drug Discovery to Identify New Therapies: Drug discovery efforts against validated targets to support new therapeutic entity identification, optimization and testing in preclinical models, with an emphasis on targets including adapter proteins, transcription factors, cell surface proteins, etc. 

Funding: $250,000 total 
Duration: 1-2 years
