The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to develop clinical-grade prototype devices intended for use as safe, effective, and non-addictive diagnostics and treatments for pain or opioid use disorder (OUD). The goal of the program is to demonstrate treatment using credible neural targets for device-based interventions and/or diagnostics for pain or OUD, building upon the latest mechanistic knowledge about the anatomy and physiology of central, spinal, and peripheral pathways involved in pain or OUD. Awarded activities will facilitate the translation of new devices up to the stage of readiness for first in human (FIH) clinical trials by overcoming key challenges identified during preliminary proof-of-concept studies. The scope of the program includes technology development and optimization, and studies to prepare for approvals for human use.
