This Project Grant award, totaling $100,000.00, was provided by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) under the Research on Healthcare Costs, Quality and Outcomes (CFDA 93.226) program. The award will fund a series of three annual health professions conferences hosted by the Auburn University Harrison College of Pharmacy Center for Opioid Research, Education, and Outreach (COACH). These conferences, taking place from 2025 to 2027, will focus on safe opioid prescribing and harm reduction strategies for older adults, racial/ethnic minorities, and LGBTQ+ populations. The conferences aim to: 1) describe current guidelines for safe opioid use, 2) apply these practices to patient cases in vulnerable populations, and 3) establish a network of interdisciplinary healthcare professionals for future collaborative research, education, and outreach efforts. The project is expected to improve healthcare provider awareness and training regarding opioid misuse harm reduction in these priority populations, ultimately informing future AHRQ-funded interventions to address disparities in opioid use disorder treatment and access.
