Tender are invited for HEALing Communities Study : Developing and Testing an Integrated Approach to Address the Opioid Crisis (HEALing Communities Study). The HEALing Communities Study will test the immediate impact of implementing an integrated set of evidence-based interventions across healthcare, behavioral health, justice, and other community-based settings to prevent and treat opioid misuse and Opioid Use Disorders (OUD) within highly affected communities. Highly affected communities of interest could include counties, neighborhoods, or some other justifiable geographic areas, within states that are burdened with higher than average rates of overdose mortality and opioid-related morbidity, and other complications. The integrated set of evidence-based prevention and treatment interventions should be designed to achieve the following goals : reduce overdose fatalities, and events; decrease the incidence of OUD; and increase the number of individuals receiving medication-assisted treatment, retained in treatment beyond 6 months, and receiving recovery support services compared to baseline. As background, on June 18, 2018, NIH held a planning meeting with scientific experts and stakeholders to discuss questions related to the design and outcomes for the HEALing Communities Study. A summary of meeting proceedings is available at : https://www.drugabuse.gov/drugs-abuse/opioids/nih-heal-initiative. To solicit additional input on the study from interested stakeholders a Request for Information (RFI) was developed. The RFI can be found at : https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-DA-18-023.html. Data coordinating center applications are expected to establish a multi-disciplinary team to support study coordination and communication; manage data, analyses, and modeling; and conduct health economics research. This study will be part of the of the NIH's Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL) initiative to speed scientific solutions to the national opioid public health crisis. The NIH HEAL Initiative will bolster research across NIH to (1) improve treatment for opioid misuse and addiction and (2) enhance pain management.
