NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Justice Community Opioid Innovation Network (JCOIN) Coordination and Translation Center (U2C Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: DA19-024
Summary:

Many individuals with opioid use disorder pass through the criminal justice system over the course of their life. Improved access to high-quality, evidence-based addiction treatment in justice settings is critical to addressing the opioid crisis. The Justice Community Opioid Innovation Network (JCOIN) is studying approaches to increase high-quality care for people with opioid misuse and opioid use disorder in justice populations. This research supports a scientist from a group underrepresented in biomedicine to expand capacity of the Mason Coordination and Translation Center that is managing logistics, stakeholder engagement, and dissemination of findings and products from the JCOIN network.

Great Lakes Node of the Drug Abuse Clinical Trials Network Cross-Cutting Research Training the Next Generation of Researchers in HEAL NIDA UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT CHICAGO KARNIK, NIRANJAN Chicago, IL 2022
NOFO Title: The National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network (UG1 Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-19-008
Summary:

The Great Lakes Node of the NIDA-supported Drug Abuse Clinical Trials Network (CTN) represents all of the major academic medical centers in the Greater Chicago and Wisconsin areas and serves as a vital Midwestern hub for the CTN. This project supports a scientist from a group underrepresented in biomedicine to expand the work of this CTN node on research in several areas. These include mHealth, eHealth, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and telehealth interventions; focus on youth/adolescent health and seniors/aging; health disparities; and professional education about opioid and substance treatment.

Clinical Coordinating Center for the Acute to Chronic Pain Signatures Program Cross-Cutting Research Training the Next Generation of Researchers in HEAL NINDS UNIVERSITY OF IOWA SLUKA, KATHLEEN A (contact); COFFEY, CHRISTOPHER S; FREY LAW, LAURA A Iowa City, IA 2022
NOFO Title: Clinical Coordination Center for Common Fund Acute to Chronic Pain Signatures (A2CPS) Program (U24 Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: RFA-RM-18-035
Summary:

The Acute to Chronic Pain Signatures Program is developing a comprehensive data set that can be used to help predict which patients will recover from acute pain associated with surgery or injury and which ones will develop long-lasting chronic pain. This project will support an early career faculty member from a group underrepresented in biomedicine. The research will enhance skills development toward conducting and coordinating clinical pain research, generating omics datasets, advancing understanding of statistical methods, and other activities required for career development.
