This Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) invites applications focused on the preclinical discovery, evaluation and development of oral direct-acting small molecule therapeutics targeting selected viruses of pandemic potential. The ultimate goal of this NOSI is to build a more robust pipeline of candidate antiviral drugs suitable for widespread use in the community in future outbreaks and/or pandemics.
Typical drug discovery programs require several years to progress through initial lead series identification and optimization to selection of a candidate drug for clinical trials. Availability of a broader range of antiviral compounds may help shorten the time needed to identify promising lead drug candidates when unexpected outbreaks arise. This NOSI builds on the Antiviral Program for Pandemics , which was launched in 2021 with funding from the American Rescue Plan.
This notice applies to application receipt dates on or after October 5, 2024 , and subsequent receipt dates through July 16, 2027 .
