3UM1DA049412-03S2 Show Summary	Research Supplement to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research under MassHEAL - Reducing overdose deaths by 40% (2019-2023)	Translation of Research to Practice for the Treatment of Opioid Addiction	HEALing Communities Study	NIDA	BOSTON MEDICAL CENTER	SAMET, JEFFREY H	Boston, MA	2021
NOFO Title: Notice of Special Interest to Encourage Eligible NIH HEAL Initiative Awardees to Apply for PA-20-222: Research Supplements to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research (Admin Supp - Clinical Trial Not Allowed) NOFO Number: NOT-NS-20-107 Summary: Understanding municipal policies that influence implementation of effective evidence-based practices (EBPs) as well as effective strategies for working with municipal groups may inform local efforts to translate EBPs. Just as important, engaging with local stakeholders may help to facilitate the long-term sustainability of EBPs. This can only occur if diverse local actors in municipal governance are thinking about health and behavioral health in the context of municipal planning and policy. Building from research related opioid use disorder and the risk environment, built environment, and zoning, this research will work to support coalition-based approach currently implemented by the HEALing Communities Study. The research aims to develop an understanding of local policies that may affect implementation of community action plans in the HEALing Communities Study Massachusetts communities.

NOFO Title: HEALing Communities Study: Developing and Testing an Integrated Approach to Address the Opioid Crisis (Research Sites) (UM1 - Clinical Trial Required) NOFO Number: RFA-DA-19-016 Summary: Although there are effective prevention and treatment programs and services to address opioid misuse, opioid use disorder (OUD), and overdose, gaps remain between those needing and those receiving prevention and treatment, in part because of a need to better understand how to make these programs and services most effective at a local level. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) launched the HEALing Communities Study to generate evidence about how tools for preventing and treating opioid misuse and OUD are most effective at the local level. This multisite implementation research study will test the impact of an integrated set of evidence-based practices across health care, behavioral health, justice, and other community-based settings. The goal of the study is to reduce opioid-related overdose deaths by 40 percent over three years. Columbia University is partnering with academic institutions in three other states to study the impact of these efforts in 67 highly affected communities. The study will also look at the effectiveness of coordinated systems of care designed to increase the number of individuals receiving medication to treat OUD, increase the distribution of naloxone, and reduce high-risk opioid prescribing.
