HEAL Initiative: NIH-DOD-VA Pain Management Collaboratory – Pragmatic and/or Implementation Science Demonstration Projects ((UG3/UH3) Clinical Trial Required)

National Institutes of Health

The purpose of this NOFO is to solicit UG3/UH3 phased cooperative agreement research applications to conduct efficient, large-scale pragmatic clinical trials and/or implementation science demonstration projects within the infrastructure of the NIH-DOD-VA Pain Management Collaboratory (PMC) on nonopioid approaches to management of pain and other comorbid conditions, including complementary and integrative approaches used alone and in combination with standard care (e.g., mindfulness meditation combined with standard pharmaceutical treatment), and improving prevention and treatment for opioid misuse and addiction in U.S. Veterans, military personnel, and their families. Supporting the trials, the PMC has established a coordinating center that provides national leadership and technical expertise for all aspects of health care system (HCS)-focused research including assistance to UG3/UH3 grant recipients.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) requires a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP).
