Innovative Pilot Studies of Novel Mechanism of Action Compounds for Treating Psychiatric Disorders (U01): The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage cooperative agreement grant applications to support experimental medicine-based first in human (FIH) and proof of concept (POC) studies of new mechanism of action, IND-ready candidate medications to treat mental disorders. The objective of the FOA is to accelerate the development of innovative pharmacological treatments through support of early phase human clinical testing. FIH pharmacology studies should assess target engagement, pharmacological effects, safety, and tolerability of novel compounds in order to build a pipeline for initial POC or efficacy trials in patients. POC studies of novel compounds should use pharmacologically based dosing, with assessment of target engagement and evaluation of the impact of compounds on clinically relevant physiological systems as well as clinical indicators of effect. The overall objective is to facilitate rapid collection of data to "de-risk" novel mechanism of action or combination treatments and to attract private funding for further clinical and commercial development of candidate medications. Partnerships between academia and industry are strongly encouraged.
