Notice

The National Institute on Health (NIH) intends to publish two Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOA) to solicit applications to build a network of researchers to develop sustainable evidence-based interventions to effectively treat non-cancer chronic pain (CP) and opioid use disorder (OUD). This network will be part of the of the NIH’s Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL)SM Initiative to speed the development and implementation of scientific solutions to the national opioid public health crisis. The NIH HEAL Initiative will bolster research across NIH to (1) improve treatment and prevention of opioid misuse and opioid use disorder and (2) enhance pain management.
The purpose of this notice is to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and projects. This FOA is expected to use a collaborative program grant mechanism (RM1). The FOA is expected to be published in November 2020 with an expected application due date in January/February 2021.

NOT-DA-20-004Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Research on Co-morbid Substance Use, Substance Use Disorders, and Other Psychiatric DisordersNIDARelease Date:
Open Date:
05/08/2023

The association between substance use, substance use disorders, and psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD and other externalizing disorders, has been well established through population based epidemiologic surveys. Numerous developmentally focused theory-based approaches have been proposed, including shared underlying vulnerabilities or risk factors. From a disorder perspective, prevalence can be expressed as either the prevalence of other psychiatric disorders among substance using populations or the prevalence of substance use among individuals with other psychiatric disorders, leading to variability in rates. Mental illness is often characterized as a risk factor for substance use initiation and for transition from use to misuse and disorder, though the exact sequence and relationship between substance use, substance use disorders and psychiatric co-morbidity is unclear and may vary by disorder. For some substances and disorders, it may be the substance use that precedes the onset of other psychiatric symptoms. Additional research is needed to determine the various trajectories of substance use and psychiatric symptoms, as well as strategies for intervention to change trajectories.

The purpose of this Notice is to inform potential applicants of NIDA’s interest in research project grant submissions that examine the effects of drugs of abuse on the function and functional roles of astrocytes, the structural connectivity of astrocytic networks, the generation, processing and spatiotemporal control of astrocytic activity within these networks, and the consequent effects of changes in astrocyte activity due to drugs of abuse on neuronal structure and function.

This project seeks to further refine and geographically expand a methodology for obtaining drug early warning indicators through broader testing of urine samples that were previously collected and tested as part of an existing drug test protocol. This method was initially developed using local criminal justice populations – including persons in pre-trial or lock-up, parolees or probationers, and drug court participants. Similar methodology is promising for use in other venues, such as in trauma units and emergency departments, where biological samples are often collected from patients. Before the specimens are discarded, the project will re-test them for an expanded panel of drugs, including synthetic cannabinoids, to determine what old and new illicit drugs are detected or missed by conventional testing protocols, and how the drug patterns might vary by subpopulation and geography. Bypassing the expense of collecting the original specimens and re-using those that have already been tested with known results yields a relatively inexpensive and timely picture of emerging drugs in a given subpopulation and locality. ONDCP is seeking to apply this testing methodology to Emergency Department populations in locations throughout the United States.

NOT-TR-20-025NCATS Announces Plans to Publish the ASPIRE 2020 Reduction-to-Practice Challenge Prize CompetitionNCATSRelease Date: 08/26/2020
Open Date:

In this Reduction-to-Practice Challenge, the second phase of the initiative, NCATS aims to build upon the designs from the Design Challenges and reward the development of a working prototype of a comprehensive integrated platform, culminating in the development of better, more effective and non-addictive analgesics. It is anticipated that this Challenge would require large, multi-expert teams. These teams may be assembled from the innovators from the 2018 Design Challenge areas and others who did not participate in the 2018 Design Challenges. This Notice alerts the scientific community that NCATS intends to hold a three-stage prize open competition for the NCATS ASPIRE Reduction-to-Practice Challenge, the stages are 1) planning, 2) prototype development and milestones delivery, and 3) prototype delivery and validation and testing. It is anticipated that the announcement will be published in September 2020, with the submission window for Stage 1 planning solutions from late November through the end of February 2021.
