To tackle the human health challenges that face the world today, the FNIH develops collaborations with top experts from government, industry, academia and the not-for-profit sector and provides a neutral environment where we can work productively toward a common goal.
The Accelerating Medicines Partnership Alzheimer’s Disease (AMP AD Phase 2) is a new precompetitive public-private partnership that will enable precision medicine research for Alzheimer’s Disease through deep and longitudinal molecular analyses across diverse populations to provide insights that will accelerate the development of therapies for Alzheimer’s Disease.
The Bespoke Gene Therapy Consortium (BGTC) is a developing public-private partnership dedicated to making gene therapy a reality for people with rare genetic diseases affecting populations too small to be viable from the current commercial perspective. Building on the successful Accelerating Medicines Partnership model, this program will focus on developing an operational playbook that invokes the use of streamlined templates, master regulatory files, and uniform production processes. It is anticipated that following a pilot phase of 4-6 test cases, a pathway toward the commercial viability of these therapies will be found. This may ultimately have a tremendously positive impact on the larger field of gene therapy if it moves more broadly into the era of genome editing.
The Accelerating Medicines Partnership–Schizophrenia is the first neuropsychiatric project of the landmark Accelerating Medicines Partnership program managed by the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health.
The International Liquid Biopsy Standardization Alliance (ILSA) Collaborative Community comprises organizations that recognize the importance of working towards the global use of liquid biopsy and common reference standards in oncology and seeks to promote their use in the broader medical community.
The NiP- Metastatic Prostate Cancer Project will re-examine the Cou302 database to further optimize the radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) endpoint to include additional factors that may influence overall survival. The model in development will be a first-in-prostate cancer predictive model to incorporate imaging
Coordinated by the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH), ACTIV brings NIH together with its sibling agencies in the Department of Health and Human Services, other government agencies, representatives from academia, philanthropic organizations and more than 15 biopharmaceutical companies to develop a coordinated research strategy for prioritizing and speeding the development of COVID-19 vaccines and treatments.
This study will test whether an antibiotic taken during labor can prevent infections in mothers and newborns in seven low- and middle-income countries. It will be conducted by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) through their Global Network for Women’s and Children’s Health Research (Global Network) in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Through the FNIH Pandemic Response Fund, donors support the National Institutes of Health's (NIH’s) efforts to speed COVID-19 vaccine and treatment research and prepare the United States for future pandemics.
This project will establish a common methodology for a histologic measurement of a mucosal healing endpoint for treatment of UC that demonstrates clear prognostic value for long-term outcomes for patients that the scientific community can utilize when developing therapeutics for UC.
Carol-Ann Harris has established the CarMollNat Endowment in memory of her beloved family members. The Endowment is committed to support research and science for the major forms of Muscular Dystrophy (MD) and neurogenetic disease.
