Abstract

This study is part of the NIH’s Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL) initiative to speed scientific solutions to understand the basis of pain and enhance clinical pain management. The Subject Matter Expert Consultant for Medicinal Chemistry provides technical guidance to the following programs: • Medicinal Chemistry consulting to procure consultant services to provide technical recommendations to the NIH Blueprint Neurotherapeutics Network drug discovery and development programs in the area of Medicinal Chemistry. • Other NIH neuroscience-focused drug discovery and development programs. The NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research, a consortium of 8 NIH Institutes and Centers that support neuroscience research, established the Blueprint Neurotherapeutics Network (BPN) as a pipeline between the typical endpoint of NIH-funded research and the beginning of industry drug development. The BPN provides neuroscience researchers with funding and access to a full range of industry-style drug development services and expertise. The program is intended for projects requiring medicinal chemistry optimization and contract research organization (CRO) support through Phase I clinical testing.
