The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking applications for its Emergency Awards to support early-stage research projects focusing on the identification of new druggable targets for pain, opioid use disorder and/or overdose within the understudied druggable proteome.
Donor Name: National Institutes of Health (NIH)
State: All States
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Award
Deadline (mm/dd/yyyy): 05/22/2022
Grant Size: $275,000
Grant Duration: 2 years
Details:
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) aims to support early-stage research to increase their knowledge of understudied proteins of the druggable proteome and enable the scientific community to identify and validate new targets for pain, opioid use disorder (OUD), and/or overdose (OD). These awards will support generation of preliminary data and tools around eligible understudied protein(s) identified by the HEAL Program with the intent of elucidating the function of these proteins in the context of pain, OUD and/or OD and obtaining sufficient preliminary data and/or research resources for subsequent R01 applications and/or drug discovery/development projects.
The goal of this specific solicitation would be to provide a needed opportunity for the collection of preliminary data around the role of understudied proteins in pain, opioid use disorder (OUD), and/or overdose (OD). This FOA would provide funding to support research that will identify new targets for pain, OUD, and/or OD among the understudied proteins of the Druggable Proteome. Many understudied proteins have been linked to pain or pain perception, opioid dependence and chronic pain. This indicates that there could be many more proteins within the DP that could serve as markers and/or drug targets for novel OUD treatment, OD and/or pain management.
