  1. RFA-DA-25-054: Harnessing Artificial Intelligence and Polypharmacology to Discover Pharmacotherapeutics for Substance Use Disorders (R43/R44 Clinical Trials Not Allowed)

    Release Date: 01-29-2024Open Date: 06-25-2024Due Date: 07-25-2024Close Date: 07-26-2024

    Background: Drug discovery and development is a high-cost, high-risk, and time-consuming endeavor where the failure rate of therapeutic candidates that enter clinical trials is 90%. Because of this, in recent years, artificial intelligence (AI), including machine learning ( ML) technologies, has been embraced to reduce clinical failure rates and to speed up drug discovery. AI/ML technologies are ...

    Drug development is challenging, particularly for Central Nervous System (CNS) medications. It takes approximately 18 years to move a potential CNS medication from its initial discovery phase to the marketplace, often costing several billion dollars. The failure rate is high (only 8% of new CNS compounds entering Phase I studies will reach the market) and contributes to the high costs and slow rat ...
