Authors have some editorial freedom to express their perspective on the strategic directions of the field of research. As such, the Perspective series is a forum that achieves high visibility within the pharmaceutical industry and academia. We are attempting to identify topics and authors for high-quality manuscripts to ensure that a Perspective article is published in every issue. We would like the series to be useful to a broad range of scientists interested in the design, discovery and development of novel medicines. We invite you to submit an idea for a Perspective, along with a brief outline of what you will cover in the manuscript. We also welcome your input regarding potential topics of interest and authors for Perspective manuscripts. Please direct correspondence or calls regarding the series to: William J. Greenlee Schering-Plough Research Institute 2015 Galloping Hill Road Kenilworth, NJ 07033 Phone (908)-740-2220 FAX (908)-740-7164 william.greenlee@spcorp.com http://www.acsmedchem.org/perspect.html The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Roadmap is establishing a pilot program called the NIH-RAID Pilot (Rapid Access to Interventional Development) to make available to academic groups and non-profit organizations, on a no-fee competitive basis, critical IND-enabling resources necessary to support the pre-clinical development of new small molecule therapeutic agents. Capabilities available include: production of bulk API, GMP manufacturing, formulation development, ADME/PK studies and GLP animal toxicology testing. Advice related to the FDA regulatory process is also available through access to NIH/NCI product development planning expertise.
