HEAL Initiative: Early Phase Pain Investigation Clinical Network - Clinical Coordinating Center (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed

The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to invite applications for the Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC) of the Early Phase Pain Investigation Clinical Network (EPPIC-Net). EPPIC-Net will serve as the cornerstone of the NIHs Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL) Partnership. EPPIC-Net will provide a robust and readily accessible infrastructure for carrying out in-depth phenotyping and biomarker studies in patients with specific pain conditions, and the rapid design and performance of high-quality Phase 2 clinical trials to test promising novel therapeutics for pain from partners in academia or industry. Studies will bring intense focus to patients with well-defined pain conditions and high unmet therapeutic needs. EPPIC-Net will consist of one Clinical Coordinating Center (CCC), one Data Coordinating Center (DCC) and approximately 10 specialized clinical centers (Hubs). The CCC will both help design and facilitate the implementation of clinical trials and studies. This FOA solicits applications for EPPIC-Net CCC. Separate FOAs have been issued to solicit applications for the Data Coordinating Center (RFA-NS-18-035) and Specialized Clinical Centers (RFA-NS-18-037). Clinical trials conducted through EPPIC-Net may come from a variety of sources including the HEAL Partnership or from separate NIH funding announcements.Teresa L.Z. Jones, MD | RFA-NS-19-023
