NEWS:
The NIH, as part of the Helping to End Addiction Long-Term (HEAL) initiative is planning to release a Funding Opportunity Announcement for clinical trials on comparative effectiveness research. A Notice providing more information on the planned FOA was released and is available on the NIH Guide: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-NS-19-022.html
The planned request for applications (RFA) will support effectiveness clinical trials that propose clinical trials to test the comparative effectiveness of existing therapies or effectiveness of existing or novel approaches for prevention and management of pain while reducing risk of addiction. The overall goal is to inform clinicians about the effectiveness of interventions or management strategies that reduce opioid use that will improve functional outcomes and reduce pain across the continuum of acute to chronic pain associated with many types of diseases or conditions, or pain presenting as a disease itself.
This Notice encourages investigators with expertise in this area of clinical research to consider applying to this planned FOA. Collaborative teams combining expertise in pain management and large clinical trials will be crucial to the success of the studies. The planned initiative will encourage UG3/UH3 phased cooperative research applications to conduct efficient, large-scale effectiveness trials to evaluate non-addictive therapies for pain that would reduce use of opioids. Awards will support a one-year milestone-driven planning phase (UG3), with transition to an implementation phase (UH3) of up to four years, contingent on meeting milestone and feasibility requirements of the planning phase. The UG3/UH3 application must be submitted as a single application.

Will have food, drink, and a Yankee Swap. Family are invited.
Yankee Swap Rules: Each player picks a number from a hat from one up to the total number of participants. Each person gets a crack at picking a gift according to his or her number. The person who picks the first gift opens it to show it to the rest of the company. Then the number two participant picks a gift and chooses to either unwrap it or swap it for an unwrapped gift. If the gift is swapped, the person who had their gift taken from them gets to unwrap the new gift. The game goes on until everyone has had their chance. At the end of the game, we’ll pick a number from the hat and that person will be able to choose whichever unwrapped gift they want.
