Description
UCSF’s CTSI Pilot Awards program, funded through an NIH/NCATS UM1 Award, supports innovative translational and clinical research on preventing and treating opioid use disorders. The program prioritizes preliminary data for clinical trials or population-based community interventions. Relevant topics include pain management, standards of care and opioid prescribing, prevention and treatment of opioid misuse and addiction, and the intersection of pain and addiction.
Supported approaches include implementation in primary care, emergency care, criminal justice and community settings; integration of evidence-based approaches into health systems; and opioid pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics related to reward pathways. Studies may focus on people ages 16–30, people born with NAS/NOWS, homeless populations, or people with co-occurring conditions. Pilot work can include feasibility studies, secondary data analysis, new methods or tools, dissemination, and early therapy or technology development.
