Description: The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to solicit cooperative agreement applications that propose clinical trials to test the comparative effectiveness of existing pharmacological therapies or devices for prevention or management of pain while reducing risk of addiction. The studies must evaluate methods to manage specific pain conditions that are within the mission and research interests of participating NIH Institutes and Centers, and evaluate interventions including medications, biologics, medical and assistive devices or delivery system strategies in controlled trials. This FOA does not include testing behavioral interventions for management of pain. The overall goal is to inform clinicians about the effectiveness of pharmacological or device interventions or management strategies concerning use of these interventions that reduce opioid use, improve functional outcomes and reduce pain for diseases or conditions of interest. Clinical trials will be conducted within the infrastructure of the HEAL Pain Effectiveness Research Network.
