The examples of the kinds of studies that will be supported under this program are those that aim to:

a) Evaluate and optimize the dose, formulation, safety, tolerability/pharmacokinetics of a certain intervention or diagnostic test in healthy volunteers or the target population

d) Determine the best of two or more potential interventions or dosing regimens that will be evaluated in a subsequent trial, based on tolerability, biological activity, or preliminary clinical efficacy.
