New Human Subject Research Project Navigation Tool |
|
The “Research Navigation Tool” is designed to guide your research activities throughout the project lifecycle and is organized into 5 key sections: Education & Training, Planning & Development, Project Setup or Initiation, Project Management, and Close Out.
Within each section you will find all relevant topics, and a summary of the topic’s importance, requirements (ex: federal regulations, institutional policies, etc.), best practice tips, “how to get started”, and related tools and resources.

Pilot Funding Opportunity: Chronic Pain and Opioid Use Disorder |
|
Application are open to apply for an IMPOWR-ME Pilot Project Award. A major goal of the IMPOWR – ME Pilot Project program is to stimulate collaborative research that is valued by people with lived experience with chronic pain and OUD and other community partners. IMPOWR-ME is a NIH HEAL Initiative funded Research Center to develop and test integrated treatments for people who have chronic pain and opioid use disorder (OUD), with the goal of improving health, health care, and well-being.
IMPOWR-ME research engages persons with lived experience with chronic pain, OUD, or both, as well as community leaders, advocates, health system partners, and payors, in all stages of the research through the IMPOWR-ME Community Leadership Board. The Community Leadership Board has identified several priority areas for pilot projects:
a. Lived experience: Incorporating or seeking to understand the viewpoints of people with lived experience with chronic pain and OUD.
b. Stigma: Understanding and reducing stigma and discrimination that individuals with chronic pain and opioid use experience in health care settings, for example, through provider training.
c. Whole health: Developing or testing interventions or studying outcomes that address the holistic health and well-being of individuals with chronic pain and OUD, including reducing stress and improving adaptive coping skills.
d. Innovative models of care: Developing or testing ways to improve access to care, engagement in care, or self-management, for example, through innovative models of care delivery (e.g., telehealth, e-health, flexible scheduling, community health workers, low-threshold access to care) and/or through collaboration with community organizations (e.g., faith-based organizations or shelters), policymakers, or health system partners.
e. Innovative therapies: Developing or testing innovative therapies with potential to help individuals with chronic pain and OUD (e.g., cannabinoids, psychedelics, acupuncture, eye movement desensitization reprocessing).
