In recent communications with a NIH Pain Representative,  there was opportunity to ask about the Consortium interfacing with and including PWP. Something for us to definitely follow; are members here involved with the Consortium?

 

And sending best wishes for a bright day, LDMF.

Welcome and Introductions Dr. Lawrence Tabak, Director National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) welcomed the group on behalf of himself and his fellow Pain Consortium co-chairs Dr. Audrey Penn, Acting Director, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), and Dr. Patricia Grady, Director, National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR). He noted the diversity of participation and representation across NIH, and acknowledged that the participants were in attendance because they believed in the need for and importance of pain research, and the need for ensuring a comprehensive and coordinated portfolio of research at NIH in this area.
