The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) awarded a K23 Career Development Grant totaling $195,428 to Dr. Jennifer Love at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai on February 15, 2026, under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279). The award supports research focused on improving emergency department (ED) care for patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) exposed to xylazine and novel adulterants. Dr. Love will develop and operate a clinical registry integrating health records, toxicologic data, serum biomarkers, and clinical outcomes for ED opioid overdose patients exposed to xylazine—a veterinary medication increasingly detected in fentanyl supplies that was declared a national toxicologic emergency in 2023. The primary deliverables include establishing a comprehensive clinical registry for xylazine-associated overdose care; developing laboratory and point-of-care assays to measure xylazine and its metabolites in serum, blood, and urine; and refining registry data elements and clinical outcomes through qualitative interviews with people who use drugs and addiction medicine specialists. The project will be completed by January 31, 2031, and builds upon Dr. Love's prior pilot work examining clinical effects of xylazine exposure in ED patients. These research activities support NIDA's mission to develop new knowledge and therapeutic approaches addressing substance use disorders, overdose prevention, and related health outcomes.Federal Grant Award Summary
