About this opportunity
The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), with NINDS, NIA, NIDCR, NCCIH, NCI, NIAMS, NHLBI, and NICHD through the NIH HEAL Initiative, is forecasting a limited competition to renew Resource Centers supporting the Pain Management Effectiveness Research Network (ERN), with application eligibility restricted to current awardees under RFA-TR-22-012.
The Resource Centers will provide operational expertise, clinical coordination and safety monitoring, data coordination and biostatistical resources, and recruitment and retention support for large-scale multisite clinical trials addressing pain management across acute to chronic presentations and disease-associated pain. The RCs operate within NCATS Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) hubs containing multiple clinical sites across institutions to implement studies expanding evidence-based pain management strategies and therapeutics.
Funding is structured as cooperative agreements. Eligible applicants are limited to organizations that held Resource Center awards under the prior authority (RFA-TR-22-012). The program does not explicitly specify an award ceiling, floor, or expected number of awards in this forecast.
Peer review will assess scientific merit and significance of objectives, technical adequacy of experimental design and approach, investigator competency, facility and resource adequacy, budget necessity in relation to proposed work, relevance to announced program objectives, and availability of funds. Applications receive initial review by committees of biomedical research authorities, with recommendations forwarded to the NCATS Advisory Council for final recommendation.
The opportunity is assigned to Assistance Listing 93.350 (National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences). Grant authorities are 42 U.S.C. 241, 284, and 247d. A full Notice of Funding Opportunity will be released for limited competition applicants.
Forecast synopsis
The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), with NINDS, NIA, NIDCR, NCCIH, NCI, NIAMS, NHLBI, NICHD and the NIH Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL) Initiative seeks to advance its mission by renewing the HEAL Pain Management Effectiveness Research Network (ERN) Resource Centers (RCs) needed for the successful planning, implementation, and completion of rigorous large-scale multisite clinical trials (CTs). CTs will expand the suite of evidence-based effective strategies and therapeutics to alleviate pain across the continuum of acute to chronic pain associated with many types of diseases and conditions, or presenting as a disease itself. The RCs will continue the provision of CT operational expertise, clinical coordination and safety monitoring, data coordination and biostatistical resources, and recruitment and retention support as well as access to additional clinical recruitment sites for CTs with a shared common theme of improving pain management. RCs work within the broad consortium of NCATS Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) hubs that each may contain multiple clinical sites at different institutions, to implement studies.
Grant authorities that allow NCATS and HEAL to forecast this opportunity are 42 U.S.C 241, 284, and 247d.
