Description
This funding opportunity encourages the development and validation of animal models and human/animal tissue ex vivo systems that replicate characteristics of neurological or neuromuscular disorders. The goal is to improve the translational relevance of these models to facilitate neurotherapeutic development. Proposed models should enable meaningful efficacy assessments applicable in both preclinical and clinical settings. This FOA is part of the IGNITE Program focused on early drug discovery stages.
