NCATS Seeks Applications to Advance
COVID-19 ResearchNCATS issued multiple Notices of Special Interest that highlight the urgent need for research on the 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and the disease it causes, novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Shedding Light on Understudied Proteins with Target Watch
The IDG Program partnered with Nature Reviews Drug Discovery to create Target Watch, which provides a snapshot of understudied protein targets and highlights potential opportunities for therapeutic advances.
PaVe-GT: Paving the Way for Rare Disease Gene Therapies
The NCATS-led Platform Vector Gene Therapy (PaVe-GT) pilot project seeks to increase the efficiency of clinical trial startup by using the same gene delivery system and manufacturing methods for multiple rare disease gene therapies.

Research at NCATS
NCATS research projects and initiatives focus on addressing scientific and technical challenges to reduce, remove, or bypass bottlenecks in the development of new treatments and tests that will ultimately improve human health. The Center studies translation on a system-wide level to accelerate the development of interventions for more than one disease.
Through its research initiatives, NCATS develops new approaches, technologies, resources, and models; demonstrates their usefulness in a specific disease or case study; and disseminates the data, analyses the methods to the larger scientific community.
NIH-NASA Biomedical Research Activities
NIH and NASA are exploring how biomedical research can address the challenges of deep space exploration and benefit human health in space and on Earth.
