High or Medium Throughput Biodegradation Determination Development Challenge

About this program

The ACS GCI Pharmaceutical Roundtable seeks a collaborative partner to develop a reliable, predictive, scalable, and relatively rapid biodegradation assay or workflow for comparing chemical classes and informing structure- and molecular property-based drug discovery. The selected contractor will receive up to $130,000 and complete the project within 18 months in collaboration with the Biodegradation focus team. Applicants must submit a proposal of no more than five pages describing the solution, team capabilities, relevant work, timeline, budget, and commitment to bimonthly meetings. International teams and subcontractors are permitted; proposals are due September 25, 2026.
