HEAL Initiative: Translating Research to Practice to End the Overdose Crisis (R33 Clinical Trial Optional)
Funding Opportunity RFA-DA-23-054 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This RFA will act as a parent RFA for the HEAL initiative Translation to Practice Team, specifically encouraging translational dissemination and implementation research focused on addressing overdose deaths and the intersection of pain and OUD. This RFA will function in tandem with targeted NOSIs that announce more specific areas of focus. For FY23, this currently includes the Workforce NOSI (formerly an RFA) and the Violence and Trauma NOSI (also formerly an RFA). It has a companion R61/R33 RFA and is expected to run for 2 years (FY23 and FY...

HEAL Initiative: Interdisciplinary Team Science to Uncover the Mechanisms of Pain Relief by Medical Devices (RM1 Clinical Trial Optional)
Funding Opportunity RFA-NS-23-003 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. More than 25 million Americans suffer from daily chronic pain, a highly debilitating medical condition that is complex and difficult to manage. In recent decades, there has been an overreliance in the prescription of opioids for chronic pain despite their poor ability to improve function and high addiction liability. This contributed to a significant and alarming epidemic of opioid overdose deaths and addictions. Innovative scientific solutions to develop alternative pain treatment options are thus critically needed. Through targeted research...
