Discovery of in vivo Chemical Probes for the Nervous System (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

Summary

This NIH funding opportunity (PAR-27-081) solicits R01 research grant applications focused on the discovery of in vivo chemical probes for the nervous system. Clinical trials are explicitly excluded from this mechanism. The program is administered by the National Institutes of Health under the Department of Health and Human Services. Applicants are expected to propose basic or translational research developing chemical tools to study nervous system biology in living systems.

Risks & flags

• Extremely broad open-to-close window (~10 months) is standard for NIH program announcements and does not indicate wiring, but scope is highly specialized (in vivo chemical probes + nervous system only), which may limit the eligible applicant pool significantly
