Applications not responsive to this NOFO include research on basic mechanisms of disease or mechanisms of drug action; development ofrisk, diagnostic, prognostic, predictive, and preventionbiomarkers, devices, non-pharmacological interventions (e.g., exercise, diet, cognitive training), repurposed drugs and combination therapies; discovery activities such as high-throughput screening and hit optimization; and stand-alone clinical trials.
