NIH Weekly Funding Opportunities and Policy Notices
Funding Opportunity RFA-DA-22-051 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. 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 (D2A) 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 Projects (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 Economics and Modeling 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 solicits applications for HEAL D2A Innovation Projects, which are phased awards intended to support local efforts, either within a single system or in cross-sector partnerships, to improve utilization of data to drive prediction and real-time proactive responses to the overdose crisis.
Funding Opportunity RFA-DA-22-052 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This FOA seeks applications for a single Data Infrastructure Support Center to support the HEAL Data-to-Action (D2A) Innovation Grants. Key activities for this Support Center would include (1) providing tailored data infrastructure and resources to support the Innovation Grants in identifying, merging, and analyzing existing records or data systems to forecast service needs or gaps and to monitor improvements resulting from strategic implementation of new interventions; (2) facilitating access to key datasets that may be of broad interest to the D2A grantees; (3) providing data visualization support to enhance the utility of local data for decision-makers; and (4) compiling a library of measures that can be used across projects to measure service delivery and outcomes, e.g., along the opioid care cascade. This FOA runs in parallel with a set of companion FOAs supporting the other components of the HEAL D2A Program.
