17/24 Healthy Brain and Child Development National Consortium Enhanced Outcomes for Infants and Children Exposed to Opioids HEALthy Brain and Child Development Study (HBCD) NIDA UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA WILSON, SYLIA (contact); GEORGIEFF, MICHAEL K; ZILVERSTAND, ANNA Minneapolis, MN 2021
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. This study will take place at the University of Minnesota and will provide access to a largely rural population.

Teaching Harm Reduction in Vulnerable Environments (THRIVE): A Peer-Led Intervention Bridging Acute Care Settings and the Discharge to the Community Translation of Research to Practice for the Treatment of Opioid Addiction Harm Reduction Approaches to Reduce Overdose Deaths NIDA UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH WILSON, JACQUELINE DEANNA Pittsburgh, PA 2022
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Harm Reduction Policies, Practices, and Modes of Delivery for Persons with Substance Use Disorders (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-22-046
Summary:

People who use drugs often have other medical problems that cause them to visit an emergency department frequently. This project will develop and test an intervention aimed at reducing health risk among Black people who use drugs that visit an urban emergency department for care. The intervention will be delivered by people with lived experience of drug use and tailored to meet the unique needs of Black people who use drugs.

Neurobiology of Pain Experiences in Youth in the ABCD Study Cross-Cutting Research Leveraging Existing and Real-Time Opioid and Pain Management Data NICHD OREGON HEALTH & SCIENCE UNIVERSITY WILSON, ANNA CAMILLE Portland, OR 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:

Many millions of Americans experience chronic pain, including about 25 million who report pain that substantially interferes with daily activities and reduces quality of life. Many chronic pain syndromes are more prevalent in females, and the incidence of chronic pain increases dramatically during adolescence. This research will use neuroimaging and other biological, social, and psychological data from a large study of young adolescents with or without pain to identify risk and protective factors for chronic pain.

HEALing Communities Study Data Coordinating Center Translation of Research to Practice for the Treatment of Opioid Addiction HEALing Communities Study NIDA RTI International WILLIAMS, RICK L Research Triangle, NC 2019
NOFO Title: HEALing Communities Study: Developing and Testing an Integrated Approach to Address the Opioid Crisis (Data Coordinating Center) (UM1- Clinical Trials Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-19-017
Summary:

Although there are effective prevention and treatment programs and services to address opioid misuse, opioid use disorder (OUD), and overdose, gaps remain between those needing and those receiving prevention and treatment, in part because of a need to better understand how to make these programs and services most effective at a local level. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) launched the HEALing Communities Study to generate evidence about how tools for preventing and treating opioid misuse and OUD are most effective at the local level. This multisite implementation research study will test the impact of an integrated set of evidence-based practices across health care, behavioral health, justice, and other community-based settings. The goal of the study is to reduce opioid-related overdose deaths by 40 percent over three years. As the Data Coordinating Center, RTI will provide coordination and facilitate communications to unite the HEALing Communities Study research centers into a cohesive research cooperative.

University of Michigan (UM) HEAL Initiative National K12 Clinical Pain Career Development Program (UM-HCPDP) Cross-Cutting Research Training the Next Generation of Researchers in HEAL NINDS UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN WILLIAMS, DAVID A (contact); CLAUW, DANIEL J; HARTE, STEVEN EDWARD Ann Arbor, MI 2022
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.
