Purpose

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), with other NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs), intends to reissue PA-15-188 the Developing the Therapeutic Potential of the Endocannabinoid System for Pain Treatment (R01, Clinical Trial Optional) seekapplications for research on support projects that will elucidate the therapeutic potential of the cannabinoids and endocannabinoid system in the development of mechanism-based therapies for pain.

This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and appropriate projects.

The FOA is expected to be published January 2018 with an expected application due date in February 2018.

This FOA will utilize the R01 activity code. Details of the planned FOA are provided below.

Research Initiative Details
Research is needed to examine cannabis-related compounds as alternative therapies for pain management. Important in this endeavor is to develop a deeper understanding of the role of natural cannabinoids and endocannabinoids in pain perception, processes, and outcomes. Research is also needed to determine how to modulate key endocannabinoid receptors, ligands, and enzyme levels in pain conditions. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages research project grant (R01) applications that study cannabinoids (phytocannabinoids and synthetic cannabinoids) and the endocannabinoid system to evaluate the therapeutic potential of the endocannabinoid system across a variety of pain conditions.
