The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) will be hosting a pre-application technical assistance webinar on October 27, 2021 from 1PM – 2PM (Eastern Time) for all potential applicants interested in the following Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA):

• RFA-NS-22-002 – HEAL Initiative: Advancing Health Equity in Pain Management (R61/R33 Clinical Trial Required)

This FOA aims to accelerate development, testing and implementation of evidence-based interventions—that are culturally and linguistically appropriate for NIH-designated populations that experience health disparities (HDPs) in the United States—to mitigate disparities in provision of care and treatment decisions, reduce susceptibility to chronic pain and improve patient outcomes.

We request that participants carefully review the funding opportunities and the FAQs for this initiative prior to submitting a question for the webinar. Participation in the webinar is optional and is not required for the submission of an application.
