Preclinical development contract facilities that support the NIH CounterACT research network and other interested investigators. The studies are performed at no cost to the Investigator and the Investigator retains Intellectual Property and primary rights to developed data. A purpose of these programs is to generate data in support of research applications to the CounterACT peer-reviewed grant program. See below for more detailed information on each program as well as application materials.
