Repurposing Research for Chicago While Cures Within Reach is disease-agnostic and geography-agnostic, some of our funding partners have strategic interests in specific geographic regions. Therefore, in addition to our disease-specific repurposing communities, we work to increase the repurposing research focused on improving the quality and length of life within the Chicagoland region through the speed and cost-effectiveness of medical repurposing. Our events and research within the Chicagoland Repurposing Community all focus on connecting our many stakeholder groups together in our shared goal: driving more treatments to more patients more quickly through repurposing. Track 4 – Veterans/Military Clinical repurposing trials to address unmet medical needs of US veterans and/or active US military, including but not limited to mental health, PTSD and brain injuries. While the funded institutions must be in Chicagoland, patients and collaborators can be both within and outside the Chicago area. Our strongest preference is for proof of concept, pivotal, Phase I or Phase IIA clinical repurposing trials. Clinical trials utilizing telehealth or other remote strategies are encouraged to apply. Funding Accepting budgets of up to $100,000 for clinical repurposing trials from Chicago area research institutions in one or more of the tracks, which includes the required institutional match.
