Office. The purpose of the Roadmap Initiatives is to identify major opportunities and gaps in biomedical research that no single Institute at NIH could tackle alone but that the agency as a whole must address to make the biggest impact on the progress of medical research. Where do I go if I need ■ Funding ■ Samples for my research Individual compounds, compound libraries, natural product extracts, animal and human cell lines, biologic reference reagents ■ Routine screening for my compounds In vitro cell line screen, anti-HIV screen ■ Downloadable data In vitro 60 cell line results, in vitro anti-HIV results, yeast assay, 200,000+ chemical structures, molecular targets, microarray data I need more information about how DTP conducts ■ In vivo testing ■ Biopharmaceutical production ■ Pharmacology and toxicology testing ■ Formulation ■ Clinical batch production NIH RAID is not a grant program. Successful projects will gain access to the government’s resources as well as assistance of the NIH in establishing and implementing a product development plan. Developmental Therapeutics Program Reference Guide for New Users http://dtp.nci.nih.gov/guide.jsp Can DTP help me if ■ I need help synthesizing small quantities of compounds (R·A·N·D) ■ I need an assay developed for high throughput (R·A·N·D) ■ I want to file my own IND but I need formulation, pharmacology, toxicology, GMP production, etc. (RAID) ■ I would like to see if NCI is interested in testing my agent in an NCI-sponsored clinical trial (DDG) What if DTP doesn’t have what I need, is there any other part of NCI that can help? ■ NCI Research Resources ■ Resources for NIH Intramural Researchers I still have questions about DTP ■ Call (301) 435-9160 or e-mail our Help Desk (dtpinfo@mail.nih.gov).
