NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: America’s Startups and Small Businesses Build Technologies to Stop the Opioid Crisis (R43/R44 - Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-19-019
Summary:

With the entwined crises of opioid use and chronic pain, there is a need for alternative, safe therapies to manage opioid use disorder, opioid withdrawal symptoms, chronic pain, and/or associated anxiety and depression. A proof-of-concept preclinical study has already been conducted of a cannabinoid-opioid combination that demonstrated opioid-sparing and synergistic analgesic effects, with the combination providing greater analgesia in a rodent model of chronic pain than a standard dose of the opioid alone. This proposal aims to develop a fixed-dose combination (FDC) of the cannabinoid-opioid that may have improved analgesia with lower opioid doses and thereby lower the risk of dependence, withdrawal, diversion, abuse, and overdose. Preclinical pharmacokinetic and ?in vivo ?safety studies will help determine if co-administration alters the pharmacokinetics and/or respiratory depression related to either compound in rodents.

NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: HEALthy Brain and Child Development Study (Collaborative U01- Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-21-020
Summary:

The HEALthy Brain and Child Development National Consortium (HBCD-NC) will establish a normative model of developmental trajectories over the first 10 years of life. All sites in the HBCD-NC will carry out a common research protocol and will assemble and distribute a comprehensive research dataset to the scientific community. The HBCD-NC will collect neural, behavioral, physiological, and psychological measures, as well as biospecimens, to characterize neurodevelopmental trajectories. Most participants will be recruited in the second trimester of pregnancy, with a smaller subset recruited at birth, and followed for the first 10 years of life. The Pennsylvania State University study site is in a region hard hit by opioid and methamphetamine use disorders and will recruit mother-infant pairs from largely rural communities.
