Manhattan awarded $244,279 grant under QTDP program

Manhattan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCBB:MHAN) announced today that it has been awarded $244,279 in funding under the U.S. Government's Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project (QTDP) credit program. The Company has received this funding for its lead product candidate AST-726 for the treatment of vitamin B12 deficiency.

The QTDP was created by Congress March 2010, as enacted under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and provides a tax credit or grant equal to 50% of eligible costs and expenses for the tax years of 2009 and 2010. The QTDP was designed to promote medical research and innovation that could improve health and save lives. The program targeted projects in new innovative therapies to prevent, diagnose, and treat acute and chronic diseases. Companies that received QTDP grants were selected jointly by the Treasury Department and the Department of Health and Human Services. The grants are limited to companies with 250 or fewer employees. The Department of Treasury further allocated the available funds among the most qualified applicants, because the program was substantially oversubscribed.
