Investigating Mechanisms Underpinning Outcomes in People on Opioid Agonist Treatment for OUD: Disentangling Sleep and Circadian Rhythm Influences on Craving and Emotion Regulation New Strategies to Prevent and Treat Opioid Addiction Sleep Dysfunction as a Core Feature of Opioid Use Disorder and Recovery NIDA EMMA PENDLETON BRADLEY HOSPITAL CARSKADON, MARY A (contact); MCGEARY, JOHN E; RICH, JOSIAH D Providence, RI 2023
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Sleep Predictors of Opioid-Use Disorder Treatment Outcomes Program (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-23-059
Summary:

Sleep and circadian rhythms are understudied risk factors for opioid use disorder (OUD) and its treatment. Opioids affect sleep quality in a way that can inhibit recovery. The two most effective medications for OUD also cause sleep problems. This project will increase understanding about underlying circadian and behavioral mechanisms, such as changes in craving and/or the ability to regulate emotions, that link poor sleep with suboptimal opioid treatment response outcomes.

HEALing Measurement Center: Enhancing Opioid Use Disorder Recovery Through Measurement Based Care Translation of Research to Practice for the Treatment of Opioid Addiction Optimizing the Quality, Reach, and Impact of Addiction Services NIDA UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH AT PITTSBURGH CLOUTIER, RENEE M (contact); ALDRIDGE, ARNIE PAUL; PRINGLE, JANICE L; SCOTT, KELLI Pittsburgh, PA 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:

This project will enhance the measurement, quality, and equity of care delivered in 20 community opioid treatment programs in Pennsylvania by co-designing and implementing measurement-based care tools and systems. The research will inform future use of measurement-based care for opioid treatment in partnership with key stakeholders, as well as explore alternative avenues improving health outcomes, including helping patients remain in treatment.

NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Translating Research to Practice to End the Overdose Crisis (R61/R33 Clinical Trial Optional)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-23-053
Summary:

Many people in jail have both opioid use disorder (OUD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Among people with OUD released from jail, only few engage in treatment and medication therapy once they are back in the community, and opioid overdose is a leading cause of death in this population. This project will test whether identifying and initiating treatment of PTSD in people receiving OUD treatment in jail can increase these individuals’ likelihood of starting and staying in medication treatment after release and thus reduce overdose risk.
