HEAL Partnership Committee
About
The HEAL Partnership Committee (HPC) is a subgroup of the HEAL Multi-Disciplinary Working Group and provides assistance with defined tasks related to the development of new treatments for pain and addiction through Helping to End Addiction Long-term® Initiative, or NIH HEAL Initiative®, research. The HPC is responsible for making preliminary recommendations on the design of a template application and evaluation dossier for biopharmaceutical and device-based treatments to be tested through new clinical trials networks as part of the NIH HEAL Initiative. The working group incorporates input from the HPC into draft recommendations for NIH HEAL Initiative research, including on the process for the selection of assets for testing, the overall complement of assets to be tested at one time and the plan for expanding the portfolio to devices and biological treatments. Discussions of the HPC are made open to the public through videocasts and public meetings.
