Synopsis

The NIH HEAL (Helping to End Addiction Long-term) SM Initiative is an aggressive, trans-NIH effort to speed scientific solutions to stem the national opioid public health crisis. Within the HEAL initiative, NINDS developed the Early Phase Pain Investigation Clinical Network (EPPIC-Net) to focus on understanding pain mechanisms and developing effective, non-addictive treatments for pain by carrying-out phase 2 clinical trials of novel, non-addictive pain therapies. EPPIC-NET accepts application on a rolling basis. Academic and industry researchers from the USA and internationally are welcome to apply.
