Alcohol and Substance Abuse Disorders
NEWS RELEASE
Released: September 19, 2016
Pharmacotherapies for Alcohol and Substance Abuse (PASA) Consortium
Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program
Alcohol and Substance Abuse Disorders Research Program
Upcoming Clinical Trial Research Funding Opportunity
The goal of the PASA Consortium is to fund study applications for developing new medications that can be brought to therapeutic use to improve treatment outcomes for alcohol and substance use disorders (ASUD), especially as related to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). The upcoming Clinical Trial Research Funding Opportunity is focused on developing new medications that 1) already have an IND for human studies and 2) that can improve treatment outcomes for ASUD related to PTSD and TBI. The PASA Consortium is administered by a Management Core led by RTI International in collaboration with the Baylor College of Medicine and the Uniformed Services University.
The Management Core is responsible for planning, prioritizing, and soliciting proposals, and providing oversight and coordination for future proof-of-principle basic research studies and proof-of-principle human clinical trials supported by the Consortium. The Management Core will provide the administrative, protocol development and review, regulatory, statistical, resource, and data management/storage functions necessary to facilitate rapid development of research that would perhaps not otherwise be feasible without the Consortium approach. The Management Core contains multidisciplinary expertise and experience in support of ASUD research. The Management Core will manage the regulatory strategy for FDA compliance, in collaboration with the industry sponsor, leading to potential product development and licensing.
The PASA Consortium is providing the information in this pre-announcement to allow investigators time to plan and develop applications. The Request for Applications (RFA) is anticipated to be made public on or around December 1st, 2016. Pre-application and application deadlines will be available when the RFA is released. This pre-announcement should not be construed as an obligation by the PASA Consortium. Additional information about PASA is available on their website: https://pasa.rti.org/
