Resource Guide for the Development of AIDS Therapies
NIAID provides an array of services to assist investigators developing the following types of products:
These services are provided at no cost to the investigator and include evaluation of compounds in cell culture and animal models, chemical synthesis, analytical chemistry, drug formulation, and animal pharmacology and toxicology.
Investigators seeking these services receive no funding from NIAID, but instead receive products or information generated by NIAID-funded contractors on their behalf. These services are offered to fill specific gaps in an investigator’s drug development plan as they advance their product towards clinical investigation.
Investigators seeking access to these services must have a defined product of known chemical structure and must have preliminary data to support the continued development of that product. Investigators seeking the random screening of new compounds without any accompanying biological data are poor candidates for these services.
