NOFO Title: Research Networks for the Study of Recovery Support Services for Persons Treated with Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (R24 Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-20-014
Summary:

The opioid epidemic in the United States is associated with alarming rates of overdose and overdose deaths. Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), in combination with psychosocial intervention, is the most effective treatment for OUD; however, many individuals are unable to access treatment, are not sufficiently retained in treatment, or experience barriers that prohibit their participation in treatment. A multipronged approach is needed that includes 1) development of integrated networks of care, both formal and informal, to better address the needs of individuals with OUDs and 2) measures of the efficacy of these integrated networks for addressing the needs of individuals with OUD. This project will build a learning collaborative to address gaps in knowledge about the delivery, sustainability, and assessment of recovery service for individuals on MAT. The collaborative will foster collaboration and communication between stakeholders and with the larger community of research and providers interested in improving the delivery of OUD recovery support services. This community-academic partnership will address the lack of evidence regarding effective recovery support services.
