Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA FD 10 016
The FDA's Office of Critical Path Programs is inviting grant proposals aimed at advancing the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of tuberculosis and other tropical diseases. The funding is specifically for collaborative partnerships that identify and address scientific and infrastructural gaps in these areas. Proposals should focus on two main goals: enhancing the development process for treatments and creating sustainable funding models for ongoing collaboration.
Eligible applicants include higher education institutions and certain nonprofit organizations. Proposals must detail the structure of the partnership, the roles of collaborators, and plans for future funding mechanisms. Here are key areas of focus for the proposals:
1. **Bridging Discovery to Testing**: Support is sought for programs that advance new compounds from laboratory discovery into human clinical trials. This includes generating necessary data and facilitating collaborations among stakeholders in drug development.
2. **Alternative Uses of Existing Products**: Applicants are encouraged to explore the repurposing of existing FDA-approved drugs for TB and tropical disease treatments, including conducting reviews and developing strategies for clinical studies.
3. **Biomarkers for Vaccines**: The program aims to identify immunological biomarkers for vaccine efficacy. Proposals should evaluate existing biomarkers and establish partnerships to fund further research.
4. **Capacity Building for Clinical Trials**: Given the lack of infrastructure in developing countries, proposals can involve creating resources like open-source electronic case report forms and training programs to enhance local research capabilities.
5. **Development of Diagnostics**: The FDA seeks proposals for developing reliable diagnostic tools for TB, including biomarkers for treatment outcomes and rapid tests suitable for low-resource settings.
6. **Combination Therapy**: Proposals should investigate effective drug combinations for treating TB, specifying project milestones and public health outcomes.
Lastly, the FDA plans to assist in program design and will oversee the funded initiatives to ensure alignment with health goals.Apply for RFA FD 10 016
