With the aim of advancing nonaddictive pain management options, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded a $3.5 million grant to a group of researchers from the University of Florida to train postdoctoral fellows seeking to become independent clinical pain researchers.

Over the next five years, under the NIH Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL) Initiative Partnerships Across Interdisciplinary Networks (PAIN) Cohort Program, the University of Florida team will train 10 to 15 fellows from various academic disciplines in a broad national effort to strengthen the clinical pain research workforce and develop new non-opioid treatments for pain management.
