This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research Program (CFDA 93.837), provides $737,030 to Oregon Health & Science University to conduct a longitudinal study on sleep, pain, and executive function outcomes in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) survivors. The primary objectives are to: 1) identify pain trajectories and biopsychosocial risk factors for chronic pain, 2) elucidate longitudinal sleep...
This $366,377 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the CFDA 93.279 Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs will fund an interdisciplinary postdoctoral training program in clinical pain research focused on maternal and childhood pain at Stanford University. The 5-year program will train up to 5 fellows per year in areas including bioinformatics, pain across the lifespan, non-pharmacological interventions, prevention of acute to...
This $146,373 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The grant will fund a 2-year research project to study adolescents' cross-gender friendships, with a focus on understanding gender differences in the quality of these relationships. The research will involve observing 60 cross-gender friend dyads (120 adolescents) to analyze their interactions...
This $163,320 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) supports the development, testing, and implementation of the Peer Empowered Endometriosis Pain Support (PEEPS) intervention. PEEPS is an 8-session group care program that incorporates evidence-based approaches such as physical therapy, mindfulness, yoga, nutrition, and chronic pain management strategies to address...
This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $351,097 was provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), which is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The grant was awarded under the NIH's Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to establish a rigorous and supportive interdisciplinary training program in clinical pain research at Mass General Brigham (MGB) in Boston. The program will support a diverse pool of 8 postdoctoral...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $351,851 to Stanford University to establish an interdisciplinary postdoctoral training program in clinical pain research, with a focus on maternal and childhood pain. The program aims to train five fellows per year over a period of 5 years, providing mentorship and research opportunities in areas such as bioinformatics,...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $118,457.00 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to conduct research aimed at harnessing the genetics of chronic pain to inform the development of non-addictive analgesic medications. The research project, led by Principal Investigator Dr. Sylvanus Toikumo, will leverage findings from a large multi-ancestry genome-wide association...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $233,250 to The Washington University to conduct research on the peripheral and central mechanisms underlying endometriosis pain. The key objectives are to identify how local estrogen levels, estrogen receptor expression, and central pain modulation capabilities relate to endometriosis pain, as well as...
This $241,401 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Arizona State University (ASU) aims to develop in vitro models that accurately replicate the physiological complexity of peripheral tissue during chronic pain. The key objectives are to: 1) Engineer a multi-compartment model of nociceptor hypersensitivity and validate its response using noxious stimuli, and 2) Establish a neuroimmune-specific model of nociceptor...
This $242,061 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) establishes an interdisciplinary clinical pain research training program at Mass General Brigham (MGB) in Boston. The program will support 8-12 postdoctoral fellows over 5 years, providing protected research time and dedicated training to expand the pool of early-career investigators capable of launching successful clinical...
This Project Grant award of $1,726,800.00 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) supports a 5-year longitudinal mixed-methods study examining the role of peer relationships in pediatric pain. The objective is to identify specific peer relationship processes that influence pain persistence, exacerbation, and recovery in a cohort of 450 early adolescents (ages 11-14) at risk for developing chronic pain. The research combines a large-scale longitudinal design, comprehensive assessment of peer relationship processes and pain, and a model-based approach to determine how peer relationship factors contribute to pain outcomes. A sub-award of undisclosed value to Oregon Health & Science University will provide consultation on study design, measure selection, and manuscript preparation.
