That said, the NINDS seeks to provide support to small businesses in their quest to develop emerging technologies that will potentially be beneficial to the objective in focus.

The examples of the kinds of studies that will be supported under this program are those that aim to:

a) Evaluate and optimize the dose, formulation, safety, tolerability/pharmacokinetics of a certain intervention or diagnostic test in healthy volunteers or the target population

b) Prospective clinical validation of a diagnostic

c) Asses whether or not an intervention produces sufficient evidence of short-term activity in a human “proof of concept” trial

d) Determine the best of two or more potential interventions or dosing regimens that will be evaluated in a subsequent trial, based on tolerability, biological activity, or preliminary clinical efficacy.

The NIH and NINDS are set to administer a funding amount of $750,000 per grant awardee to support the execution of this program.
