As part of the NIH HEAL Initiative, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) is releasing a set of interrelated RFAs to create the HEAL Data2Action (HD2A) Program, a coordinated effort to promote the synthesis and real-world application of existing data to guide and monitor improvements in service delivery to prevent or treat opioid use disorder (OUD) and pain. Collectively, these projects will address gaps in the delivery of evidence-based practices in each of the four pillars of the HHS Overdose Prevention Strategy: primary prevention, harm reduction, treatment of opioid use disorder, and recovery support. Separate FOAs are being issued to support multiple HEAL D2A Innovation Grants (RFA-DA-22-051); one HEAL D2A Data Infrastructure Support Center (RFA-DA-22-052); one HEAL D2A Research Adoption Support Center (RFA-DA-22-050); and one HEAL D2A Modeling and Economic Resource Center (RFA-DA-22-049). It is imperative that prospective applicants read all of these related RFAs to better understand the intended purpose and structure of the HEAL D2A Program.
This FOA seeks applications for one HEAL D2A Modeling and Economic Resource Center to support the HD2A Innovation Projects. This center will provide expertise in a variety of simulation modeling and economic analyses and methods and will consult with the HD2A Innovation Grants on applying these methods and insights in their local implementation activities. The Center will also conduct original research applying state-of-the-art economic and simulation modeling expertise to understand and address the overdose crisis.
