About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health is soliciting applications to develop in vitro and/or ex vivo assays and conduct iterative screening to identify and characterize potential therapeutic agents for neurological or neuromuscular disorders, with applications due October 20, 2027. This R61/R33 mechanism explicitly excludes clinical trials.
