The NIH HEAL Initiative issued a request for information seeking feedback on the initiative’s future strategic research priorities to address opioid use disorder, overdose, and pain.
The NIH HEAL Initiative℠, or Helping to End Addiction Long-Term Initiative℠, invites you to submit feedback to shape strategic research priorities that will guide the initiative’s future efforts to find scientific solutions to the urgent public health challenges of opioid use disorder, overdose, and pain. HEAL welcomes feedback from all interest groups, including people with living/lived experience, caregivers, researchers, the private sector, community-based organizations, health care providers, professional societies, advocacy groups, patient communities, and other members of the public.
Nine of the NIH Collaboratory Trials are supported by funding from the NIH HEAL Initiative. They explore a range of interventions to improve implementation of pain management strategies and reduce inappropriate prescribing of opioids.
Respondents are asked to share their feedback by email by July 31, 2024, to HEALquestion@od.nih.gov with “HEAL RFI” in the subject line.
