Identifying Chronic Pain Phenotypes and Treatment Disparities in Adults with Cerebral Palsy | Cross-Cutting Research | Leveraging Existing and Real-Time Opioid and Pain Management Data | NIDCR | UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN | PETERSON, MARK D | Ann Arbor, MI | 2022 |
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Secondary Analysis and Integration of Existing Data Related to Acute and Chronic Pain Development or Management in Humans (R21 Clinical Trials Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-DE-22-011 Summary: Cerebral palsy is the most common physical disability in children. Those who have this condition experience pain throughout their lives. Although opioids are generally not recommended, many adults with cerebral palsy are prescribed them for pain. This project will assess the incidence of chronic pain conditions in adults with and without cerebral palsy as well as measure opioid treatment-related health outcomes in adults with cerebral palsy. This research will also evaluate pain treatment disparities related to race/ethnicity and insurance coverage using national medical claims databases. |

Identifying multimodal biomarkers for autologous serum tears in the treatment of chronic postoperative ocular pain | Clinical Research in Pain Management | Discovery and Validation of Biomarkers, Endpoints, and Signatures for Pain Conditions | NINDS | CLEVELAND CLINIC LERNER COLLEGE OF MEDICINE - CWRU | SAYEGH, RONY ROGER (contact); ROTROFF, DANIEL | Cleveland, OH | 2023 |
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Discovery of Biomarkers and Biomarker Signatures to Facilitate Clinical Trials for Pain Therapeutics (UG3/UH3 Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: RFA-NS-22-050 Summary: Cataract surgery is commonly performed in older adults; however, some patients subsequently experience chronic eye pain that is difficult to treat. One promising approach that is effective in some, but not all, patients uses the patient's own serum (a component of blood) as eye drops. This project seeks to identify markers that can help predict which patients will respond to serum treatment and monitor their progress. Using advanced technology and data analysis to evaluate patient histories, questionnaires, and different genetic and other molecular characteristics in the eyes and serum it aims to identify potential markers that can then be tested in a clinical study. |

Identifying Plasma Proteomic Profiles of Chronic Pain Development in Endometriosis From Adolescence to Adulthood | Cross-Cutting Research | Training the Next Generation of Researchers in HEAL | NICHD | BRIGHAM AND WOMEN'S HOSPITAL | SASAMOTO, NAOKO | Boston, MA | 2023 |
NOFO Title: Emergency Awards: HEAL Initiative- New Innovator Award (DP2 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-TR-22-013 Summary: Endometriosis is a gynecologic disorder characterized by severe pelvic pain, affecting 10% of reproductive aged women and adolescents worldwide. These individuals are at an increased risk for chronic opioid use, dependence, and overdose. Adolescents and young adults in particular are understudied in endometriosis research. This project will conduct a longitudinal study of adolescent endometriosis. The research will identify novel biomarkers and biological pathways involved in the transition of acute to chronic pain. The research aims to improve non-surgical endometriosis diagnosis, risk, and treatment. |

Identifying Suspected Drug Overdose Deaths in Near Real-Time Using Data Collected by Death Investigators | Cross-Cutting Research | Leveraging Existing and Real-Time Opioid and Pain Management Data | NIDA | FRIENDS RESEARCH INSTITUTE, INC. | HOCHSTATTER, KARLI RAE | Baltimore, MD | 2022 |
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Data and Methods to Address Urgent Needs to Stem the Opioid Epidemic (R01- Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-22-044 Summary: Effective responses to the highly dynamic overdose crisis require accurate and timely information about the timing and location of drug overdoses, which is currently reported mainly through death certificates that take time to become available and thus limit life-saving responses. This project will comprehensively evaluate, optimize, and assess barriers and facilitators to adoption of a surveillance tool developed by the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. The tool uses data routinely collected during death investigations to predict in near real-time whether a death was due to an unintentional drug overdose. The findings will inform drug overdose mortality surveillance efforts in other states. |

NOFO Title: Administrative Supplements to Existing NIH Grants and Cooperative Agreements (Parent Admin Supp Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: PA-18-591 Summary: The goal of this project is to generate data and reagents that help uncover critical functions of the poorly characterized members of ion channels. It focuses on co-perturbation of ion channel genes and their interacting genetic components as opposed to singly altering ion channel genes in mouse models. This approach will validate our proteomics approaches in the most definitive manner: in vivo. We see in vivo exploration as an essential step to evaluate ion channel function. Our major aims include mapping ion channel interactions and complexes using a high-throughput proteomics platform at UCSF. These data will be interrogated using integrative approaches established by the Monarch Initiative, where biochemical interactions will be validated and prioritized for further study. Another major aim is function-centric: We use mouse models for elucidation of human disease mechanisms, where we embrace a genetic interaction scheme to uncover ion channel redundancy and polygenic effects. |
