The NIH HEAL Initiative is offering this grant to establish a Coordinating Center for National Pain Scientists (CCNPS) to address the critical shortage of pain researchers and foster multidisciplinary collaboration. This grant is for enhancing the workforce pipeline in pain management research, aiming to meet NIH’s long-term goals for effective non-opioid pain treatments. The Interagency Pain Research Coordinating Committee (IPRCC) identified barriers like limited entry and high departure rates in the field, alongside a lack of structured mentorship. The CCNPS will act as a central facilitator, integrating training and mentorship across a network of NIH-funded early-stage investigators. Its main purpose is to enhance the training experience for new pain researchers across basic, translational, and clinical research, creating a vast network to promote innovative pain management solutions through collaboration.

| Description: | There is an urgent need for more research to establish best practices in the pain management field, however, there is a limited workforce pipeline of pain researchers to meet NIHs long-term goals of providing effective non-opioid options for the treatment of pain conditions and better pain management overall. The Interagency Pain Research Coordinating Committee (IPRCC) has identified the workforce problem as a barrier for new pain research, and has identified factors that contributed to it such as barriers to entry into the field of pain research that have constricted growth high departure rate of senior investigators and mentors. The IPRCC also identified a need for more structured opportunities for early-stage investigators to learn from and be mentored by experienced investigators. The pain management field has further recognized that basic, translational, and clinical researchers do not regularly collaborate when developing grant applications. If pain management researchers across all disciplines were to work together, it would enhance the innovation, relevance, and practical application of pain management research. To support the NIH HEAL Initiatives response supporting new investigators, promoting multidisciplinary collaborations among pain researchers, and identifying innovate treatments to manage pain, this FOA invites applications for the Coordinating Center for National Pain Scientists (CCNPS). The CCNPS will be a central facilitator for integrating training and mentoring across a network of mentors and early-stage investigators funded by NIH (e.g., NIH trainees, NIH fellows, and Career Development Awardees). The main purpose of the CCNPS is to enhance the training experience of new pain researchers across the continuum of basic, translational, and clinical research and create a vast network of NIH-funded pain researchers to promote multidisciplinary collaborations in pain research. The CCNPS will create and run a coordination center to connect NIH-fund |
