Project # Project Title Research Focus Area Research Program Administering IC Institution(s) Investigator(s) Location(s) Year Awarded
3U24NS113784-01S1
University of Rochester Hub and Spokes for the EPPIC Network - Specialized Clinical Center Clinical Research in Pain Management Early Phase Pain Investigation Clinical Network (EPPIC-Net) NINDS UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER MARKMAN, JOHN DOUGLAS Rochester, NY 2021
NOFO Title: Notice of Special Interest to Encourage Eligible NIH HEAL Initiative Awardees to Apply for Administrative Supplements to Support Career Enhancement Related to Clinical Research on Pain (Admin Supp – Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: NOT-NS-21-048
Summary:

Improving pain treatment for is a major goal of the NIH HEAL Initiative. This award supports an early career physician toward achieving a future in clinical pain research and in conducting phase II clinical trials focused on pain. Research activities will provide this individual with the skills needed to serve as a primary investigator for future clinical trials in chronic pain and will help to answer a key question that could improve the design of analgesic clinical trials for neurogenic intermittent claudication, a distinct form of chronic low back pain for which no available treatment exists.

HEAL Initiative: Research to Foster an Opioid Use Disorder Treatment System Patients Can Count On Translation of Research to Practice for the Treatment of Opioid Addiction Optimizing the Quality, Reach, and Impact of Addiction Services NIDA RESEARCH TRIANGLE INSTITUTE MARK, TAMI L Research Triangle Park, NC 2023
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Research to Foster an Opioid Use Disorder Treatment System Patients Can Count On (RM1 - Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-23-046
Summary:

Although medication-based treatment for opioid use disorder can effectively reduce overdose risk and improve health outcomes, most people discontinue treatment too soon. Quality measures that inform opioid treatment programs about how many patients remain in treatment relative to peer programs could motivate those programs to pursue quality improvement activities, such as helping patients navigate logistical barriers to receiving treatment. This project will test approaches to developing and disseminating retention and outcome measures for opioid treatment programs.

Specialized Clinical Center at MGH for the Early Phase Pain Investigation Clinical Network Clinical Research in Pain Management Early Phase Pain Investigation Clinical Network (EPPIC-Net) NINDS MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL MAO, JIANREN Boston, MA 2019
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Early Phase Pain Investigation Clinical Network - Specialized Clinical Centers (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: NS115689-01
Summary:

The MGH EPPIC-Net hub will utilize two well-established collaborative entities in both patient care and clinical research at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH): 1) MGH Division of Pain Medicine and 2) MGH Center for Translational Pain Research. This hub-spoke network at MGH will include four core spokes consisting of both academic centers and community health care organizations, as well as over a dozen spokes that can be recruited as needed based on special requirements of phase II trials and research studies. The responsibilities of this hub-spoke network at MGH include a) coordinating phase II trials/clinical biomarker validation studies; b) recruiting well-phenotyped subjects in a timely manner; c) collecting clinical data and targeted outcome data tailored to meet the needs of each clinical trial/study; and d) maintaining communications within and outside the hub, including the NIH EPPIC-Net.

Social Connectedness and Behavioral Health Risks Among AI/AN Urban Adults New Strategies to Prevent and Treat Opioid Addiction Preventing Opioid Use Disorder NIMH UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO DENVER MANSON, SPERO MARTIN Aurora, CO 2020
NOFO Title: Notice of Special Interest(NOSI): HEAL Initiative: Social Network Analyses to Reduce American Indian and Alaska Native Opioid Use Disorder and Related Risks for Suicide and Mental Health Disorders
NOFO Number: NOT-DA-20-033
Summary:

American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth and young adults experience disproportionately high rates of suicide, mental health disorders, traumatic life events, and substance use disorder. More effective, culturally informed interventions are needed that are tailored to the specific needs of this population. This supplement will examine how a person?s social network contributes to their behavioral health (suicide risk, mental health, substance use) status and how this network can be leveraged to improve the uptake of prevention interventions. The long-term goal is to disseminate and translate the lessons learned into practical policy, organizational changes, and preventive innovations that optimize patient-centered health outcomes and ultimately reduce or eliminate the dramatic and tragic suicide-related health disparities among urban AI/AN YYAs.

The Whole Health Study: Collaborative Care for OUD and Mental Health Conditions New Strategies to Prevent and Treat Opioid Addiction Optimizing Care for People with Opioid Use Disorder and Mental Health Conditions NIMH UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA MANDELL, DAVID S (contact); BOGNER, HILLARY R; KAMPMAN, KYLE MATTHEW Philadelphia, PA 2019
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Effectiveness Trials to Optimize, Implement, Scale, and Sustain the Collaborative Care Model for Individuals with Opioid Use Disorders and Mental Health Conditions (U01 Clinical Trial Required)
NOFO Number: RFA-MH-19-525
Summary:

This study will refine and test a collaborative care model for patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) and major depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, or an anxiety disorder in primary care. The primary aims of the study are: (1) prototype and test elements of the research team’s collaborative care models; (2) conduct a randomized study of three collaborative care conditions to determine which is most effective in improving outcomes for people with OUD and mental health conditions: Augmented Usual Care, Collaborative Care, or Collaborative Care + Social Worker; (3) measure clinician and organizational-level factors associated with implementation to increase success; (4) conduct a cost evaluation of each collaborative care model; and (5) work with smaller and rural practices to develop and test effective strategies to manage OUD. Successful completion of this study will provide evidence regarding the elements of integrated collaborative care required to maximize outcomes for individuals with OUD and psychiatric disorders.
