Director's Message: Our Center's Role in the Landscape of Pain Research 

Pain is a major public health concern in this country. Our most recent survey establishes that more than 25 million Americans experience pain every single day. From a health professional point of view, finding an effective way to manage pain can be a serious challenge. Pharmacologic approaches for pain management include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, opioids, and other agents, and while these drugs may provide improvements in pain and function over the short term, evidence of long-term effectiveness is limited. Opioid prescriptions have been on the rise at an alarming rate, and their use has been associated with serious risks, including misuse and overdose. Read more.

NIH Seminars for New Researchers and Research Administrators

Are you a researcher, new or early career scientist, or research administrator interested in learning more about applying for NIH grants, mapping your career with NIH, or managing NIH awards? Consider attending one of the 2016 NIH Regional Seminars on Program Funding and Grants Administration in Baltimore, MD (May 11-13) or Chicago, IL (October 26-28). More than 60 NIH and HHS policy, review, program, and grants management officials will be on hand to share the latest updates and guidance on NIH-wide programs, policies, and updates on the NIH grants processall in a central location.  In addition to 45 different topics provided during the seminar, attendees have the opportunity to have 15 minute chats with NIH & HHS staff during the “1:1 Meet the Experts.”  There is no limit to the number of staff members you can meet with during the two-day seminar.  In the post-seminar evaluations, attendees often note that these opportunities were some of the most valuable activities at the NIH Regional Seminar.
