Plain-English 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.
