Description
This funding opportunity supports pilot research projects focused on the prevention and treatment of opioid use disorders (OUD). The goal is to generate preliminary data that will enable future clinical trials or broader community interventions. Projects may address pain management, opioid prescribing practices, prevention and treatment of opioid misuse and addiction, and the intersection of pain and addiction. The program encourages proposals involving translational and clinical research, including feasibility studies, secondary data analysis, development of new methodologies or tools, and early-stage therapy or technology development. Research should be relevant to translational science, aiming to overcome bottlenecks in the research pipeline, and may involve implementation strategies within healthcare or community settings, especially for populations at high risk for OUD.
