HEAL Initiative: Understanding Polysubstance Use and Improving Service Delivery to Address Polysubstance Use (R01, R34 Clinical Trial Optional)

Funding Agency:
National Institutes of Health

The purpose of this FOA is to support R01-level projects that will address polysubstance use involving opioids and stimulants that can contribute to 1) understanding of the dynamics of polysubstance use, 2) improving outcome measurement in the context of polysubstance use, 3) personalizing preventative and treatment services approaches in the context of polysubstance use. 

This study is part 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 bolsters research across NIH to (1) improve treatment for opioid misuse and addiction and (2) enhance pain management. More information about the HEAL Initiative is available at: https://heal.nih.gov/
