Award Details:
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), awarded a K23 career development grant to Dr. Shastry at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai for $195,228 (May 1, 2026 – April 30, 2031). This award supports the development and evaluation of a post-emergency department (ED) buprenorphine initiation support intervention targeting opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment adherence and retention. Products and Services Delivered:
The grant funds three primary research activities: (1) characterization of barriers to buprenorphine adherence and treatment retention during the critical first month following ED buprenorphine initiation through mixed-methods research; (2) development and refinement of a targeted multi-component behavioral and clinical intervention to support patient adherence during this high-risk period; and (3) evaluation of feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the intervention through a pilot randomized controlled trial. Additionally, the award supports Dr. Shastry's career development through structured mentorship, didactic coursework in mixed-methods research, intervention development, and clinical trial methodology. These research activities directly address the substantial mortality burden from opioid overdose deaths (exceeding 50,000 in 2024) by improving treatment outcomes for patients with OUD in emergency department settings.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
