NIAID announces the availability of funds for administrative supplement awards to promote the development of pediatric chemical research models and medical countermeasures (MCM) discovery under the Chemical Countermeasures Research Program (CCRP). There is currently an unmet need in understanding the natural history, pathophysiology, and treatment of critical illness in infants, children, adolescents, and young adults after exposure to highly toxic DHS-designated Chemicals of Concern (CoCs). The administrative supplement funds are intended to support pilot preclinical projects by CCRP-supported researchers that focus on 1) Basic research to elucidate mechanistic differences in susceptibility to CoCs between pediatric and adult populations and/or 2) Applied research towards the discovery and early development of pediatric-safe MCMs.
Application Due Date(s) – 6 May 2024; 17 March 2025; 16 March 2026
Deadline: November 19, 2024
