The NIH CounterACT program supports basic and translational research aimed at understanding the fundamental mechanisms of toxicity caused by chemical threat agents and the application of this knowledge to develop promising therapeutics for reducing mortality and morbidity caused by these agents.

This NIH-led program includes a comprehensive network of Research Centers of Excellence, individual co-operative research projects, small business innovation research grants, contracts, and interagency agreements with the Department of Defense.

We are hosting a free webinar to explain the current NIH CounterACT funding opportunity announcements (see links below), application best practices, support offered by the program, as well as answer questions from the audience.
