OpportunityTitle: Novel Approaches for Developmental Neurotoxicity Testing (R43/R44 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Other Eligible Applicants include the following: Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Institutions) are not eligible to apply.  Non-domestic (non-U.S.) components of U.S. Organizations are not eligible to apply.  Foreign components, as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, may be allowed.
Description: This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) supports Phase I (R43), Phase II (R44), Direct to Phase II (R44), and Fast Track (R44) Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant applications from small businesses concerns (SBCs) to develop resources, new methods, and approaches that can be applied in testing strategies to help understand the role of environmental chemicals in the etiology of the neurodevelopmental disorders. There is a need for novel and innovative approaches including New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) that can provide effective ways to address current challenges and gaps in the assessment of Developmental Neurotoxicity (DNT). These screening systems or technologies, when fully developed and validated with appropriate throughput and controls, are expected to provide cost-effective, quicker and/or comprehensive results to understand the underlying role of environmental chemicals in the DNT.
