About this opportunity

This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages research grant applications to develop in vitro and/or ex vivo assays and conduct iterative screening efforts to identify and characterize potential therapeutic agents for neurological or neuromuscular disorders. This FOA is part of a suite of Innovation Grants to Nurture Initial Translational Efforts (IGNITE) to advance projects to the point where they can meet the entry criteria for the Blueprint Neurotherapeutics Network (BPN) or other translational programs. The program aims to support early-stage translational research that bridges the gap between basic science discoveries and clinical applications in neuroscience. Projects funded under this mechanism will focus on assay development and the identification of neurotherapeutic agents for disorders affecting the nervous system and neuromuscular function.
