HEAL Initiative: Antenatal Opioid Exposure Longitudinal Study Consortium (PL1 Clinical Trials Not Allowed)
The objective of this program is to advance scientific research that facilitates knowledge and care for infants exposed in utero to opioids. This program benefits the public: infants and families with opioid exposure and their health care providers. This FOA supports trials that require participation of two or more collaborative sites for completion of the study. Accordingly, the collaborating sites develop a specific protocol across the sites and are organized to increase sample size, accelerate recruitment, or increase sample diversity and representation. Each site has its own Program Director/Principal Investigator (PD/...
