About this opportunity

The National Institutes of Health is soliciting applications for the Innovation Grants to Nurture Initial Translational Efforts (IGNITE): Neurotherapeutic Agent Characterization and In vivo Efficacy Studies, with an application due date of October 20, 2027. Clinical trials are not permitted under this funding opportunity.

Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (public and private), small businesses, 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, independent school districts, tribal organizations, state and local governments, public or Indian housing authorities, for-profit organizations, and other entities. Additionally eligible are Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander serving institutions, faith-based or community-based organizations, Hispanic-serving institutions, historically Black colleges and universities, Indian or Native American tribal governments (whether or not federally recognized), non-domestic entities, regional organizations, tribally controlled colleges and universities, and U.S. territories or possessions.

The program funds pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, and in vivo efficacy studies designed to demonstrate that proposed therapeutic agents possess sufficient biological activity to warrant further development for neurological or neuromuscular disorders falling under the NINDS mission. Eligible therapeutic agents include small molecules, biologics, and biotechnology-derived products. The funded work aims to advance projects to meet entry criteria for the Blueprint Neurotherapeutics Network or other translational programs.

This opportunity is reissued as PAR-21-122 and operates under CFDA 93.853 (Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders). Awards are made as grants. Review occurs through technical panels and the National Advisory Neurological Disorders and Stroke Council, with evaluation based on scientific merit, experimental design adequacy, investigator competency, facilities and resources, budget necessity, and relevance to program objectives.
