About this archived opportunity

This Notice of Funding Opportunity seeks applications to establish and operate a dynamic and adaptable drug development infrastructure to support the research community. The aim is to strengthen and expand the substance use disorder (SUD) drug development pipeline by accelerating the evaluation and validation of repurposed and repositioned drugs. The Center and its team of subject matter experts will provide comprehensive drug development services to academic and biotech researchers at all stages of product development. By supporting various projects that address different SUD indications, the Center will contribute to reducing the burden of SUDs on individuals and communities. The services offered will include assistance in creating Target Product Profiles, Freedom-to-Operate analysis, intellectual property consultations, regulatory guidance, and technical pipeline support. Additionally, the Center will engage in outreach efforts to connect with the research community, solicit proposals, and implement processes to evaluate, select, and advance the projects focused on repurposing and repositioning medications for SUD treatment.
