NCATS Assay Guidance Manual

The Assay Guidance Manual (AGM) is a free, best-practices online resource for the successful development of robust, early-stage drug discovery assays. These assays are tests that enable researchers to examine thousands of compounds using automated screening systems in an effort to develop chemical probes and drug candidates.

The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), manages the AGM in collaboration with Eli Lilly and Company. The AGM provides researchers worldwide with step-by-step guidance to facilitate the discovery of pharmacological tools and drugs.

Training Workshops for using the Assay Guidance Manual can be found here.
