CENTER OF EXCELLENCE FOR MOBILE SENSOR DATA-TO-KNOWLEDGE (MD2K) - OVERALL New Strategies to Prevent and Treat Opioid Addiction NIBIB University of Memphis KUMAR, SANTOSH MEMPHIS, TN 2018
NOFO Title: Administrative Supplements to Existing NIH Grants and Cooperative Agreements (Parent Admin Supp Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: PA-18-591
Summary:

Rapid technological advances are leading to field-deployable mobile sensing devices that can quantify complex dynamics of key physical, biological, behavioral, social, and environmental factors, enabling us to understand causation in complex disorders. Significant new investment is needed to develop and disseminate data analytics tools. The Center of Excellence for Mobile Sensor Data-to-Knowledge (MD2K) will generate generalizable theory, methods, tools, and software to address major barriers to processing complex mobile sensor data and its use in biomedical knowledge discovery and just-in-time care delivery. We will develop and implement a standards-based, interoperable, extensible, and open-source big data software platform for efficient implementation of MD2K data analytics. MD2K will demonstrate the feasibility, utility, and generalizability of this approach by implementing the entire MD2K data analytics system in the context of two biomedical applications: reducing relapse among abstinent daily smokers and reducing readmission among congestive heart failure patients

MECHANISMS OF MUSIC THERAPY TO PALLIATE PAIN IN PATIENTS WITH ADVANCED CANCER Clinical Research in Pain Management NINR DREXEL UNIVERSITY BRADT, JOKE Philadelphia, PA 2018
NOFO Title: Arts-Based Approaches in Palliative Care for Symptom Management (R01)
NOFO Number: PAR-14-294
Summary:

This study addresses the public health problem of chronic pain as one of the most feared symptoms in people with cancer. Insufficient relief from pharmacological treatments and the fear of side effects are important reasons for the growing use of complementary pain management approaches in people with cancer. One such approach is music therapy. Although efficacy of music therapy for pain has been established, there are no mechanistic studies clarifying how it works in clinical populations. The overarching goals of this study are to 1) examine mediators and moderators hypothesized to account for the pain-reducing effects of interactive music therapy (IMT) in people with advanced cancer and chronic pain and 2) validate IMT’s theory of action. The results of this study will provide estimated effects sizes of IMT on the mediators and preliminary effect size estimates for the pain outcomes. This information will be instrumental in the development of a subsequent large-scale efficacy trial.

TRIALS COORDINATING CENTER TO REDUCE SUBSTANCE USE, HIV RISK BEHAVIORS, & CRIME Translation of Research to Practice for the Treatment of Opioid Addiction NIDA CHESTNUT HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC. DENNIS, MICHAEL L; SCOTT, CHRISTY K Bloomington, IL 2018
NOFO Title: Translational Research on Interventions for Adolescents in the Legal System: TRIALS (U01)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-13-009
Summary:

Less than half of youth in the juvenile justice system who meet the criteria for substance use disorders (SUD) have ever received treatment, and less than one third of those received treatment while under community or correctional supervision. SUDs during adolescence can lead to significantly longer periods of substance use, more severe offending, and penetration in the justice system. The Translational Research on Interventions for Adolescents in the Legal System (TRIALS) cooperative is intended to develop and test implementation strategies and associated measures to improve the continuum of substance abuse and HIV prevention and treatment services delivered to youth under juvenile justice supervision.

PAIN MANAGEMENT COLLABORATORY COORDINATING CENTER (PMC3) New Strategies to Prevent and Treat Opioid Addiction NCCIH Yale University KERNS, ROBERT D; BRANDT, CYNTHIA A. NEW HAVEN, CT 2018
NOFO Title: NIH-DoD-VA Pain Management Collaboratory - Coordinating Center (U24)
NOFO Number: RFA-AT-17-002
Summary:

The Pain Management Collaboratory Coordinating Center (PMC3) will 1) provide national leadership and technical expertise in all aspects of research supporting the design and execution of high-impact demonstration projects that conduct cost-effective, large-scale, pragmatic clinical trials on non- pharmacological approaches for pain management and other comorbid conditions in veteran or military health care systems and 2) make data, tools, best practices, and resources from these and other projects available to facilitate research partnerships in VA and DoD health systems. The aims are to: 1) develop, adapt, and adopt technical policy guidelines and best practices for the effective design and conduct of pragmatic trials; 2) work collaboratively with and provide operational, technical, design, and other support to demonstration project teams to develop, initiate, and implement a research protocol; and 3) disseminate NIH–DoD–VA Pain Management Collaboratory–endorsed policies and best practices and lessons learned within military and veteran health care systems.
