This grant is looking for projects that explore new ways to target pain through proteins that haven't been studied much. It's part of a larger effort to find new treatments for pain and opioid addiction. The grant provides up to $100,000 to help researchers gather initial data or develop tools related to these proteins.
Who it's for: This grant is for researchers and organizations interested in studying proteins related to pain management. Eligible applicants include various government entities, nonprofits, small businesses, and educational institutions.
