Catalyze: Product Definition for Small Molecules and Biologics - Preliminary Product/Lead Series Identification (R33 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
This funding opportunity supports early-stage research to develop new therapeutic agents for heart, lung, blood, and sleep disorders, specifically targeting projects that have identified promising small molecules or biologics ready for preclinical testing.
Description
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will provide the early stage translational support needed to identify a lead compound series toward development of potential therapeutic agents to treat heart, lung, blood, and sleep diseases and disorders. This FOA is part of a suite of Catalyze innovation grants to advance projects to the point where they can meet the entry criteria for the NHLBI Catalyze Preclinical program or attract independent development support from other federal or private partners for preclinical optimization and development of therapeutic agents.
