WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 -- The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, through the National Institutes of Health, has opened funding for the Glioblastoma Therapeutics Network, aimed at advancing research on innovative therapies for adult glioblastoma (GBM). With an estimated total funding of $4.4 million, the initiative is set to award up to four grants, each with a maximum of $700,000.
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) seeks applications to develop effective agents capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier and to clinically test these treatments. The National Cancer Institute (NCI)highlights the project's goal to improve GBM treatment by transitioning successful early-stage trials of new drugs into later stage trials via established NCI clinical trial mechanisms.
To execute this initiative, a collaborative network will be formed, consisting of teams equipped to advance therapeutic agents from preclinical development through investigational studies and into pilot clinical trials involving human subjects. Eligible therapeutic agents may comprise novel compounds or existing agents that were approved for other medical indications and subsequently repurposed for GBM, following necessary preclinical evaluations.
It is important to note that only domestic entities may apply; non-domestic components associated with U.S. organizations, as well as foreign organizations, are not eligible. The NOFO specifically aims to bridge gaps within the GBM drug development process, guiding projects from the late preclinical phase through early clinical studies.
The deadline for application is October 1, 2026. The funding opportunity number is RFA-CA-27-005.
