In a new video interview, Dr. Lesley Curtis, chair of the NIH Collaboratory Steering Committee, describes the importance of the four PRISM NIH Collaboratory Trials, which are directly addressing the U.S. opioid crisis and exploring fundamental questions of pain management using nonpharmacologic treatments. “We are particularly excited about the answers that will come out of these trials,” she says. Now in their UG3 planning year, the PRISM investigators are strongly encouraged to take full advantage of the Collaboratory’s resources, such as the significant expertise found across the Core Working Groups.
