Medicinal Chemistry Support Program for Therapeutic Development (MCSP)

In plain English

The National Institutes of Health is seeking information from qualified businesses that can provide full-service medicinal chemistry support for therapeutic development. Work may include project management, compound logistics, synthesis, computational chemistry, SAR analysis, and in vitro ADMET studies across exploratory, hit-to-lead, and lead-optimization stages, supporting 1–10 projects at once. Small businesses and businesses with qualifying socioeconomic statuses are encouraged to respond; this is market research, not a request for proposals. Responses are due by 1:00 p.m. Eastern on September 14, 2026, by email to the listed NIH contacts, using solicitation number 75N98026R00144SB in the subject line.
