Multi-Disciplinary Working Group

Overview

The Multi-Disciplinary Working Group serves as a fact-finding body of experts external to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to provide input to guide Helping to End Addiction Long-term® Initiative, or NIH HEAL Initiative®, research. The working group assists the NIH Institute and Center Advisory Councils to help ensure that NIH HEAL Initiative research meets the bold, trans-NIH goals for the initiative. Its meetings serve as a forum to engage partners in the private sector and research community, provide a transparent venue for stakeholders and members of the public, and help facilitate exchange of scientific information among NIH HEAL Initiative projects.
