The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is accepting applications for its Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL) Initiative: Research Studies to Develop and Implement Interventions to Prevent Opioid Misuse in Community Health Centers.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) seeks to address the urgency and magnitude of the opioid crisis by developing and testing new or adapted interventions to prevent opioid misuse among patients served by community health centers (CHCs), and/or developing and testing implementation strategies for screening and referral to preventive interventions for misuse of opioids and other substances among patients served by CHCs.

- develop and test implementation strategies for screening and referral to preventive interventions for misuse of opioids and other substances among patients served by CHCs.
