NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Back Pain Consortium (BACPAC) Research Program: Mechanistic Research Centers (U19 Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: RFA-AR-19-026
Summary:

The University of Michigan (UM) will lead a Mechanistic Research Center (MRC) as part of the broader BACPAC initiative that will take patients with chronic low back pain (cLBP) and use a patient-centric, SMART design study to follow these individuals longitudinally as they try several different evidence-based therapies while mechanistic studies are overlaid to draw crucial inferences about what treatments will work in what patient endotypes. Interventional Response Phenotyping describes the need in any precision medicine initiative to phenotype participants based on what therapies they do and do not respond to so that one can later link mechanistically distinct disease endophenotypes with those who preferentially respond to therapies targeting those mechanisms.

NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: National K12 Clinical Pain Career Development Program (K12 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-NS-22-045
Summary:

The Interagency Pain Research Coordinating Committee has reported that early-stage investigators are leaving the clinical pain research workforce for other fields. In addition, pain clinician researchers at the senior/mentor level are also exiting the field. This project will create a national training center for early-career clinicians and scientists interested in pursuing and sustaining independent careers in clinical pain research. Research will focus on rigorous scientific methods and procedures in pain research as well as the importance of stakeholder engagement.

PSYCHOSOCIAL PAIN MANAGEMENT TO IMPROVE OPIOID USE DISORDER TREATMENT OUTCOMES New Strategies to Prevent and Treat Opioid Addiction Behavioral Research to Improve Medication-Based Treatment NCCIH University of Michigan, Ann Arbor ILGEN, MARK A. ANN ARBOR, MI 2018
NOFO Title: Clinical Trials or Observational Studies of Behavioral Interventions for Prevention of Opioid Use Disorder or Adjunct to Medication Assisted Treatment-SAMHSA Opioid STR Grants (R21/R33)
NOFO Number: RFA-AT-18-002
Summary:

Many individuals who receive medication-assisted therapy (MAT) leave treatment early and continue to struggle with opioid use disorder (OUD), often within the context of poorly managed comorbid chronic pain. Psychosocial interventions for pain have been effective in patients with chronic pain and substance use disorders, but these interventions have not been examined in the OUD population receiving MAT. This study proposes to refine and adapt a psychosocial pain management intervention (PPMI) delivered by telephone for patients with OUD receiving MAT and then to conduct a randomized controlled trial of the intervention in patients receiving MAT to improve adherence and pain- and substance-related outcomes. The intervention uses elements of cognitive behavioral pain management interventions adapted specifically for patients with OUD receiving MAT. The new intervention will be compared to an enhanced usual care condition (EUC) in 100 patients.
