Showcase and Ideas Exchange About Bias in Health Care Artificial Intelligence Webinar
May 5
12:30 p.m. EDT
NCATS will be announcing the winners of the Bias Detection Tools for Clinical Decision-Making Challenge at a webinar on May 5, 2023, at 12:30 p.m. EDT. The bias detection challenge — launched in October 2022 — will award up to $700,000 to those teams best able to create an open-source solution that detects and mitigates bias in artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) models used in health care settings. More than 200 people signed up to compete in this challenge, and the resources and webinars provided during the challenge aimed to offer context and cross-training for this complex issue that includes AI/ML, health care, and bias and ethics.
Attendees will:
Learn from competitors about issues that surfaced and discoveries that were made while developing their solutions.
Share their thoughts and ideas with NCATS on how to continue to propel the field of bias detection and mitigation in health care AI forward.
Discover how they can join future efforts to improve health care and mitigate bias through AI.

2023 AGM Preclinical Translational Science Webinar Series
June 2
11 a.m. to 12 p.m. EDT
NCATS’ Assay Guidance Manual (AGM) program will host a quarterly virtual webinar series in conjunction with the center’s Office of Policy, Communications and Education and Office of Drug Development Partnership Programs. This series, featuring prominent speakers in the field, is designed to communicate critical information about preclinical translational science and is particularly relevant for biomedical researchers who are conducting preclinical studies to advance research leading to interventions that will impact human health.
The webinar series will convey best practices in preclinical translational science to help bridge the gap between research discoveries and the delivery of new therapies. Participants will discuss topics relevant to preclinical translational science, including reproducibility, assay development, new and emerging modalities in drug discovery, and entrepreneurship. Participants also will dissect case studies about successful and unsuccessful drug discovery campaigns, with the goal of learning about strategies, methods, and approaches for accelerating drug development. Presenters will provide an overview of the AGM e-book, an important resource for detailed information about robust assay methods and best practices in quantitative biology. They also will disseminate the principles of translational science among scientists in biomedical research and demonstrate how these are applied in preclinical research.

Joint NIH-Pfizer CTI Steering Committee |
The CTI network pairs leading researchers with Pfizer resources to pursue scientific and medical advances through joint therapeutic development. The NIH-Pfizer CTI collaboration is governed by a steering committee with equal representation from NIH and Pfizer. The committee selects research projects and makes decisions about their progress.

CTI Call for Proposals |
Pfizer’s CTI for NIH has two calls for proposals each year. Learn more about the therapeutic areas of interest for this proposal cycle.
Advantages to Collaborating with CTI
A cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) collaboration with CTI includes, among other things, access to Pfizer’s drug development expertise and publishing rights. CTI’s foundation partners include:
Lupus Research Alliance
Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America
Jeffrey Modell Foundation
View frequently asked questions about the CTI program for NIH researchers.
See the therapeutic areas of interest.
Project Scope
As a general rule, CTI does not accept therapeutics of the following kinds: small molecule, radiotherapy, nanoparticle delivery systems and vaccines.
Pre-proposals for collaboration will be evaluated initially on the basis of fit with Pfizer internal program portfolios, other CTI collaborations, and business and technical feasibility specific to each project.
RNAi, CRISPR technologies and nanoparticles are not in the scope for the current CTI call for proposals.
Success Factors: What We Look For
Strong project rationale
Demonstrated association between target biology pathway and disease mechanism
Target validation as demonstrated by genetic or pharmacologic evidence
Ability to address unmet medical needs
Validated therapeutic drug target
Tractable target relative to proposed drug modalities (antibodies, proteins and peptides)
Novel target, novel therapeutic strategy or new insight into target patient population
Defined target
Understanding of desired pharmacology
Demonstrated cause-effect relationship to disease mechanism
Project feasibility
Clear path to candidate development (biochemical/cell-free/cellular assays, disease models, preclinical testing, etc.)
Clear path for translation into clinical trials (approach for proof-of-mechanism in humans, accessible patient population, time frame, safety issues, etc.)
Clinical differentiation
Therapeutic strategies including personalized medicine, patient stratification, molecular signatures, genetic associations and biomarkers
Modalities
Large molecules (antibodies, proteins, antibody conjugates and fusion proteins)
Proposal Submission Process
All intramural NIH researchers and clinicians whose work meets these criteria are invited to apply to CTI. The first step is submitting a pre-proposal brief (Word - 39KB), which is a non-confidential two- to three-page overview of the target, mechanism (including evidence for disease linkage), and the proposed therapeutic drug. At a high level, the pre-proposal should explain how the therapeutic hypothesis could be tested in the clinic. Investigators then must submit this pre-proposal to their NIH Institute or Center's technology transfer office for initial review and for submission to the Pfizer CTI Portal. For more information, contact Manjula Donepudi, Ph.D., or Lili Portilla, M.P.A.
The NIH-Pfizer Joint Steering Committee reviews all submitted proposals. For selected projects, a team of scientists from CTI and NIH will work together to submit a full proposal and project plan to advance the research.
Proposal Stages
Stage I: Pre-proposal submission and non-confidential review
Stage II: Full proposal submission and confidential review
Stage III: Work plan and budget

Collaborators leverage BrIDGs expertise and resources to generate data for a Investigational New Drug applications to a regulatory authority such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.BrIDGs enables collaborations on potential therapies for any disease or disorder. Eligible collaborating organizations include academic institutions, not-for-profit organizations and small businesses that meet the criteria for the Small Business Innovation Research program. Foreign academic and nonprofit institutions, as well as NIH intramural researchers, can work with BrIDGs.Learn more about working with BrIDGs: How to Request a Collaboration: Overview of the request process and detailed instructions for investigatorsConsiderations for Collaborators: Minimum data requirements and scope limitations for collaborationsIntellectual Property: How BrIDGs handles background versus new intellectual property created during the projectProject Implementation and Conduct: Project management, oversight and governanceResubmission of Prior Proposals: How to reapply and what must be achieved in the interimBrIDGs Operational ModelBrIDGs staff partner with researchers in need of preclinical therapeutics development expertise and resources to advance candidate therapeutics into clinical trials. Researchers with enough preliminary data can use BrIDGs capabilities to put a preclinical product development plan into action. In general, available expertise and contract resources include synthesis, formulation, pharmacokinetic and toxicology services. Pre-existing intellectual property (IP) rights are retained by the owner, which allows BrIDGs to function as a non-dilutive investment in exciting preclinical therapeutics development projects and to maximize the competitiveness of therapeutic agents for more private-sector funding. |
