Summary
Opioids and STOP Pain Initiative Act
This bill establishes and provides funds for the Opioids and STOP Pain Initiative at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to support pain-related research, including:
- understanding pain, therapies for chronic pain, and alternatives to opioids for pain treatment as directed in the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2016;
- improving options and evidence for medication-assisted treatment and opioid overdose reversal treatments; and
- supporting the Federal Pain Research Strategy.
NIH must establish the Pain Therapy Screening Program to award grants to support the development of new pre-clinical models for pain disorders, and the application of these models in drug, device, or other therapy screening.
