About the opportunity

[Note: the application period for this award is now closed] The Pacific Northwest (PNW) Node of the National Institute of Drug Abuse Clinical Trials Network (NIDA CTN) is collaborating with the Institute of Translational Health Sciences (ITHS) to announce the availability of consultation, services, and access to electronic health records data from 18 primary care clinics for substance use disorder focused research. The NIDA CTN’s Pacific NW Node aims to stimulate pilot projects that support new substance use disorder research in primary care practices from the WWAMI region.

The purpose of this opportunity is to provide investigators with primary care based electronic health record data for research related to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of substance use disorders. Data can be used for pilot projects that support development of large-scale research applications to NIDA in the area of substance use disorders. The PNW Node will help guide applicants to submit their large-scale research applications to NIDA Clinical Trial Network specific funding opportunities.
