Description

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) invites cooperative agreement applications from qualified non-profit, private and academic researchers/organizations to participate in the planning and execution of a new public-private partnership (PPP). The purpose of a one-year planning phase (UH2) is to provide support for the systematic study directed toward fuller scientific understanding of the opportunities in the area of drug discovery and development for tobacco dependence, with the ultimate goal of establishing a PPP, specifically, a Product Development Partnership (PDP). The mission of the PDP is to develop safe and effective medications for the treatment of tobacco dependence, including aids for smoking cessation. Phase two (UH3) funding will be utilized to support the implementation and execution phase of the PDP, with one selected cooperative agreement recipient assuming the role of the PDPs Managing Partner. In this subsequent phase, the PDP will conduct a wide array of research and development (R&D) projects aimed at the fulfillment of regulatory requirements for approval for marketing in the US.
