NIH National Center for Accelerating Translational Sciences (NCATS) Releases New Funding Opportunity for Therapy Development Services.
In October 2011, the NIH Rapid Access to Interventional Development (NIH-RAID) program became the Bridging Interventional Development Gaps (BrIDGs) program. BrIDGs offers access to in-kind NIH contract resources in support of investigator-initiated preclinical therapeutic development projects. The outcome of BrIDGs projects is research data and material suitable for an investigator-held IND application to the FDA. A single receipt date is scheduled this year on April 3, 2012.

NIH FOA solicits applications for the Lasker Clinical Research Scholars Program
The program offers the opportunity for a unique bridge between the NIH intramural and extramural research communities, and contains two phases. In the first phase, Lasker scholars will receive appointments for up to 5-7 years as tenure-track investigators within the NIH Intramural Research Program with independent research budgets. In the second phase, successful scholars will be eligible to apply for up to 5 years of NIH support for their research at an extramural research facility; or, the scholar can be considered to remain as an investigator within the intramural program.
