Department of Defense Grant for Translational Chronic Pain Management Research

The intent of the FY21 CPMRP TRA is to support translational research that will accelerate the movement of evidence-based ideas in chronic pain management research into clinical applications, such as healthcare products, technologies, clinical practice guidelines, and/or models of care. TRA applications should explain how the proposed work will inform the development, refinement, and/or revision of existing standards of care, recommendations, or guidelines for managing chronic pain. Studies seeking to advance new and novel opioid-based therapeutic interventions do not meet the intent of the award mechanism and may be withdrawn. Studies seeking to understand and reduce opioid utilization in chronic pain management within the context of current prescribing practices are acceptable.
