The number of FDA approved drugs decreased significantly between 1996 – 2010 despite more compounds prepared (combinatorial chemistry) and assayed (high throughput screening).
In addition to economic and bureaucratic factors, a likely scientific cause for this trend rests in the fact that the compounds produced and evaluated in large pharmaceutical compounds represent a small subset of chemical diversity space.

The Indiana Drug Discovery Alliance (IDDA)
The Molecular Therapeutics program within the Indiana CTSI is pleased to announce the creation of the Indiana Drug Discovery Alliance. The IDDA’s objective is to promote and support promising early stage drug discovery research. The IDDA will facilitate collaborative translational research and partnerships through identification of complementary expertise across and support for team building across diverse disciplines. The IDDA will be a clearinghouse for drug discovery and development resources available through Indiana-CTSI colleagues and, when necessary, identify and fill gaps through the new, external partnerships. The IDDA will seek to expand our current capabilities and knowledge base by providing access to education resources to faculty and students on translational drug discovery.

Call for Proposals
PROPOSAL DEADLINE; July 1, 2014
The IDDA has created a competitive program that will provide funds and/or consultation to support early stage development of therapeutics. Small grants will be available to support new collaborations and/or the use of core facilities that enable the translation of fundamental discoveries related to drug discovery. Critical research proposal feedback will be provided from the team of experienced industry and academic experts within our internal advisory committee as well as through ad hoc, project-specific pharmaceutical expert reviewers. Funded projects will be developed in consultation with the internal advisory committee.

Call for Proposals
The IDDA currently seeks proposals through three classifications:
Type 1: Chemical Lead Development: Projects with unique chemical entities seeking in vitro or in vivo biological screening and evaluation, molecular target identification, computational design and medicinal chemistry services, and/or early stage preclinical evaluation.
Type 2: Biological Target Validation: Projects with fundamental biological targets seeking assay development, in silico screening, high-throughput screening, hit identification, chemical synthesis and/or medicinal chemistry services.
Type 3: Molecular Design and Library Development: Projects seeking to utilize computational and medicinal chemistry core facilities for design and synthesis of small molecules for placement in the CTSI chemical compound collection.

GENERAL GUIDELINES
1.Applicants must be full-time researchers (tenure, tenure-track, or research faculty) within the Indiana-CTSI.2.Funds are available up to $15,000 but budget and budget justification are not required at this stage. Final budgets will be developed in consultation with the internal advisory committee.3.The proposal should be single-spaced and a maximum of two pages in length (Arial, 11pt) with no less than 0.5 inch margins. 4.The proposal should be submitted through the CTSI Hub as a single PDF document with naming convention, “principal investigator_IDDA_type#.pdf”. The following must be included within the two-page limit:1.Name, title and affiliation of applicant and co-investigators.2.A brief background describing the drug discovery-related project emphasizing therapeutic relevance and significance.3.Current status of project.4.NIH-style, 4-page biosketches for the PI and co-investigators should be included as an appendix.
