This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications for basic research to inform toxicology of chemical warfare agents and select toxic industrial chemicals and materials that have primary or secondary effects on the nervous system. These chemical threats are toxic compounds that have been identified by the United States Government (USG) as Chemicals of Concern (CoC) that could be deliberately or accidentally released into the civilian population. Research supported by this NOFO is expected to generate results that further elucidate mechanism(s) of toxicity of these agents and potential new targets for development of therapeutic/medial countermeasures that are effective in civilian mass exposure situations.
