What the grant funds
This RFA will act as a parent RFA for the HEAL initiative Translation to Practice Team, specifically encouraging translational dissemination and implementation research focused on addressing overdose deaths and the intersection of pain and OUD. This RFA will function in tandem with targeted NOSIs that announce more specific areas of focus. For FY23, this currently includes the Workforce NOSI (formerly an RFA) and the Violence and Trauma NOSI (also formerly an RFA). It has a companion R61/R33 RFA and is expected to run for 2 years (FY23 and FY24)
