- This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $5,057,591 was provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279). The purpose of the award is to conduct a comprehensive, prospective observational study with 2,400 emergency department patients seeking care for acute pain. The study aims to: 1) characterize clinically-informed pain phenotypes, 2)...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) aims to advance the understanding of the molecular and neurobiological mechanisms underlying chronic pain in sickle cell disease (SCD) and develop effective pharmacologic treatments. The $1,103,783 award to the University of Illinois will utilize well-characterized sickle cell transgenic mouse models to study epigenetic, neurobiology, and gut microbiota...
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), awarded a $1,955,201 Cooperative Agreement to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center under the NIH Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279). The 5-year award, effective September 19, 2025 through July 31, 2030, will support research to better understand the biopsychosocial determinants of pediatric-onset chronic musculoskeletal pain. The research will...
- This Project Grant award of $4,649,740 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (part of the National Institutes of Health) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) is funding research to develop network-based models for understanding inter-individual differences in the progression of chronic musculoskeletal pain, using knee osteoarthritis as a case study. The research aims to: 1) Use natural language processing to annotate patient narratives and...
- This federal Project Grant award of $118,457.00 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is funded under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279). The award supports research by Dr. Sylvanus Toikumo at the University of Pennsylvania to characterize the genetic architecture underlying chronic pain and addiction, with the goal of informing the development of non-addictive analgesic medications. The project aims to leverage...
- This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), is focused on developing novel methods for selectively stimulating nociceptors (pain receptors) and measuring the brain's nociceptive-specific response in both healthy individuals and those with the chronic pain condition fibromyalgia. The $2,314,276 award to Emory University will fund the creation of a new...
- This federal Project Grant award of $129,113 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, supports the SPARQ: Summer Program to Advance Research and Equity in Pain and Neurological Health at Seattle Children's Hospital. The 9-week program aims to expose 10 undergraduate students per year to rigorous, interdisciplinary pain and neuroscience research, with a...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is funded under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279). The $1,098,640 grant, awarded on September 18, 2025, supports a longitudinal research project titled "Modeling Inter-Individual Differences to Address Pain of Sickle Cell Disease (MIDAS)" at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). The project aims to collect comprehensive health data to enable innovative computational modeling and risk stratification of young adult African Americans with sickle cell disease, in order to address the significant burden of pain and high opioid use associated with this disorder. The research involves clinically phenotyping patients with difficult-to-control pain and adverse drug effects, and analyzing the prevalence of genetic variants linked to pain severity and chronicity in this population. The findings from this project will inform more personalized pain management strategies for this high-need patient group.
