Description
This program provides mentored career development awards (K08) for early-career clinician-scientists seeking to establish independent research careers in areas aligned with the NIH HEAL Initiative’s Clinical Research in Pain Management. The focus is on supporting research that does not involve leading an independent clinical trial, but allows for mentored experience in clinical trials conducted by others. The goal is to expand the clinical pain research workforce and enhance the translation of pain management science into practice.
