HEAL Initiative: Effectiveness Trials to Optimize, Implement, Scale, and Sustain the Collaborative Care Model for Individuals with Opioid Use Disorders and Mental Health Conditions (U01 Clinical Trial Required)

Funding Opportunity RFA-MH-19-525 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. In April 2018, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) launched the HEAL (Helping to End Addiction Long-term) Initiative, an aggressive, trans-agency effort to speed scientific solutions to stem the national opioid public health crisis. In response to this initiative, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), in partnership with other NIH Institutes, proposes research to adapt the Collaborative Care Model (referred to henceforth as collaborative care) a specific service delivery model for treating mental/behavioral health conditions in primary care settings to meet the needs of individuals with opioid use disorders (OUDs) and co-occurring mental health conditions. Effectiveness clinical trials are envisioned to develop, optimize, implement, scale, and sustain collaborative models that offer Medication Assisted Treatment for OUD alongside indicated treatment for mental health conditions that commonly co-occur with OUD and are treatable in primary care.
