Participants Accepting Appointments
Jane B. Acri, Division of Therapeutics and Medical Consequences, NIDA
Addiction Treatment Discovery Program (ATDP), Medication Discovery and Toxicology Branch
The mission of the ATDP is to identify, evaluate, and recommend potential pharmacotherapies as treatments for the medical management of substance use disorders through preclinical testing. Compounds are provided by academia and pharma, and tested at contract sites under blinded conditions to determine if they can reduce drug self-administration, reinstatement, discriminative stimulus effects, locomotor stimulant effects, or produce effects on ICSS or drug withdrawal.
Julian Blagg, Cancer Research UK Cancer Therapeutics Unit, The Institute of Cancer Research, London, UK
Cancer Research UK
Cancer Research UK funds cancer research through a variety of mechanisms, from five research institutes to investigator-led programs and training fellowships. Funding spans the research pipeline, and the CRUK portfolio includes research into a wide variety of types of cancer.
Charles Cywin, NINDS
Division of Translational Research
DTR provides funding and resources (approximately $100 million annually) through grants, cooperative agreements, and contracts to academic and industry researchers to advance early-stage neurological technologies, devices, and therapeutic programs to industry adoption (i.e., investor funding and corporate partnerships). DTR offers a variety of programs that support the design, implementation, and management of research activities critical to translational challenges in the treatment of neurological disease.
Kristen P. Doyle, Cancer Prevention & Research Institute of Texas
CPRIT is a $3 billion fund to invest in cancer research and prevention projects in Texas. CPRIT’s goal is to expedite innovation in cancer research and product development, and to enhance access to evidence-based prevention programs throughout the state. CPRIT accepts applications and awards peer-reviewed grants for a wide variety of cancer-related research at Texas’ academic institutions and early stage companies – from basic research to Phase I and II clinical trials.
Martin Duenas, Leidos
OnPAR: A New Funding Paradigm
OnPAR is an initiative from Leidos Life Sciences in partnership with National Institute of Health (NIH) to provide investigators a funding opportunity for their highly scored, unfunded applications. The primary goal of OnPAR is to connect funders with unfunded research applicants. OnPAR matches these unfunded applications with non-government organizations (NGOs). OnPAR members (NGOs) are private foundations, pharmaceuticals, and private funds. This service is free for all investigators worldwide, and investigators do not have to re-write the unfunded application.
Mark Egli, NIAAA
Preclinical Medication Efficacy Testing Program for Alcohol Dependence
NIAAA’s Preclinical Medication Efficacy Testing Program tests proprietary compounds in rodent models of excessive alcohol drinking to evaluate their value for further development for alcohol dependence therapies. Prioritization is given to drugs with a clear development path and to novel pharmacological mechanisms.
Andrew Flint and Barbara Mroczkowski, NCI and Leidos Biomedical Research, Inc.
NCI Experimental Therapeutics Program (NExT)/Chemical Biology Consortium
The mission of the NExT Program is to advance clinical practice and bring improved therapies to patients with cancer by supporting the most promising new drug discovery and development projects. Applications with exceptional science, a clear path to the clinic and likelihood of providing significant benefit to patients are selected for support by NCI.
The Chemical Biology Consortium (CBC) is the discovery engine of the NExT Program. With 22 centers, it has the drug discovery expertise to advance early stage drug discovery projects from target to identification of clinical candidates.
Francois Franceschi, NIAID
Therapeutic Development Services
The Therapeutic Development Services program offers a collection of preclinical services to support the development of products intended for use in the cure, mitigation, diagnosis, or treatment of disease caused by a pathogen or certain toxins.
Duncan Holmes, GlaxoSmithKline
Discovery Partnerships with Academia
Discovery Partnerships with Academia (DPAc) is an innovative approach to drug discovery. As a unit within GSK’s research and development organization, we’re dedicated to creating highly collaborative relationships with leading academic researchers. We believe that working closely together and combining our different strengths is a great way to develop new medicines that truly benefit patients.
Ann Mills-Duggan, Wellcome Trust
Innovator Awards
These awards, of up to £500,000, support researchers who are transforming great ideas into healthcare innovations that could have a significant impact on human health. Our current focus areas are mental health, neurological disorders and neglected tropical diseases, although we may consider applications from other areas.
Aaron Pawlyk, NIDDK
NIDDK Translational Research & Illuminating the Druggable Genome
As part of its mission to reduce the burden of disease, NIDDK participates in a series of funding opportunity announcements to encourage translation of basic discoveries into novel therapeutics.
The goal of the Illuminating the Druggable Genome (IDG) Program is to improve our understanding of the properties and functions of proteins that are currently not well studied within commonly drug-targeted protein families.
Suzana Petanceska, National Institute on Aging
Division of Neuroscience
The Division of Neuroscience (DN) fosters and supports extramural research and training to further the understanding not only the dementias of old age, but also to further an understanding of the neural and behavioral processes associated with the normally aging brain.
Lorenzo M. Refolo, NIA
Alzheimer’s Drug Development
Preclinical drug discovery and development of novel/repurposed compounds for prevention and treatment of MCI, AD, and other dementias of aging.
Phil Sanderson, NCATS
Therapeutics for Rare and Neglected Diseases; BrIDGs
The NCATS Therapeutics Development Branch has two related programs which provide collaborative, in-kind support for drug development. The programs are intramural and do not provide grant funding.
The Therapeutics for Rare and Neglected Diseases (TRND) program can support late stage discovery and pre-clinical development of drug candidates through Investigational New Drug (IND) application and early clinical development.
The Bridging Interventional Development Gaps (BrIDGs) program assists researchers in advancing drugs through IND enabling studies.
Robert Sons, National Institutes of Health
Tech Transfer Center/Invention Development and Marketing Unit
The mission of NIH includes the application of knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability. NIH also works with industry to promote technology and economic development. Through partnerships, NIH can leverage its resources with those of industry and, by working together, more effectively apply its knowledge to development of new therapeutics, diagnostics, devices, and digital and wearable health solutions.
Jon de Vlieger, Lygature – The European Lead Factory
The European Lead Factory
The European Lead Factory is a collaborative public-private partnership aiming to deliver innovative drug discovery starting points. Having established the first European Compound Library and the first European Screening Centre, the EU Lead Factory gives free access to up to 500,000 novel compounds, a unique industry-standard uHTS platform, and much more. The initiative is funded through the Innovative Medicines Initiative and at this point has crowdsourced 90 drug targets of which 62 have already progressed through HTS.
Lois Winsky, NIMH
