HEAL Initiative: HEAL KIDS (Knowledge, Innovation and Discovery Studies): Chronic Pain Program (UC2 Clinical Trial Optional)

Funding Opportunity RFA-AR-24-007 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. As part of the NIH's Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL) Initiative, the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases and other participating NIH Institutes and Centers invite applications for the HEAL KIDS Chronic Pain Collaborating Research Teams (HEAL KIDS CPT) Program to conduct interdisciplinary team-based research projects that combine clinical research, novel/cutting-edge technologies, and measurement science, which will improve our understanding of primary and secondary chronic pain conditions in children and adolescents. The results are expected to enhance and expand our capacity to pursue challenging biological problems, therapeutics development, and effective management of pediatric pain conditions.
