“Additionally, FDA and NIH should promote efficacy trials of new applications for generic drugs, which might include NIH funding such trials or conducting its own.”
What has happened
- Not started
Neither FDA nor NIH has promoted efficacy trials of new uses for generic drugs. The NIH Guide to Grants and Contracts carries no in-window notice or funding opportunity on repurposing generics; searches of the Guide index for the relevant terms return only pre-2025 records. No Federal Register document in the window addresses the subject.
No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.
