Description

The purpose of this NIH Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite research applications proposing to map neural circuitry mediating visceral organ pain. This FOA is part of the Stimulating Peripheral Activity to Relieve Conditions (SPARC) Common Fund program and is coordinated with the Translational Devices to Treat Pain (TDTP) initiatives of the NIH HEAL program (see Companion Funding Opportunities above). Detailed mapping of pain-mediating circuitry originating from visceral organ afferents will leverage the SPARC program to produce maps that could accelerate the development of non-addictive approaches to treat pain.
