In April 2018, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) launched the HEAL (Helping to End Addiction Long-termSM) Initiative, an aggressive, trans-agency effort to speed scientific solutions to stem the national opioid public health crisis. This Initiative will build on extensive, well-established NIH research, including basic science of the complex neurological pathways involved in pain and addiction, implementation science to develop and test treatment models, and research to integrate behavioral interventions with Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder (OUD) The NIH HEAL Initiative℠ will bolster research across NIH to improve treatments for opioid misuse and addiction and enhance pain management.

The United States Renal Data System (USRDS) is a national data system that collects, analyzes, and distributes information about chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the United States. The missions of USRDS are: (1) To characterize the total renal patient population and describe the distribution of patients by socio-demographic variables across treatment modalities; (2) To report on the incidence, prevalence, mortality rates, and trends over time of renal disease by primary diagnosis, treatment modality and other variables; (3) To develop and analyze data on the effect of various modalities of treatment by disease and patient group categories; (4) To identify problems and opportunities for more focused special studies of renal research issues; (5) To conduct cost effectiveness studies and other economic studies of ESRD; and (6) To make the data available to investigators, and by supporting investigator-initiated projects, to conduct biomedical and economic analyses of ESRD patients.

Research Initiative
|
FDA
|
NCATS
|
The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences(NCATS) funded Tissue Chip Testing Centers (TCTC) scientists have used a reference set of validation compounds vetted by pharmaceutical representatives through an NCATS partnership with the IQ Consortium and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to run tests to determine functionality, reproducibility, robustness, and reliability in these organ platforms. The TCTC scientists coordinated activities among Tissue Chip program-funded investigators and the FDA to support the progress of these chips, with the goal of getting chips to be used widely as a validated research tool and qualified for use in pre-clinical drug testing. The NextGen TCTCs funded in 2018 continued these goals, with a focus on building a self-sustaining financial business model for continuation of the TCTCs after the end of their funding periods.
