Description

This opportunity, issued by the National Institutes of Health, aims to address the opioid crisis and overdose events by accelerating the translation of research in addiction epidemiology, prevention, treatment, and recovery into real-world practice. The program supports action-oriented studies at various levels—including individual, provider, organizational, community, or system. It prioritizes replicable and scalable approaches for implementing effective, evidence-based prevention, treatment, and recovery interventions. Projects may focus on identifying and characterizing malleable factors, developing/testing interventions or implementation strategies, collaborative data science, or approaches integrating researchers with decision-makers (clinical, health system, public health, or policy). Research relevant to chronic pain comorbid with substance use is also a priority.
