| 06/09/2022 | US Deprescribing Research Network RFA When: (06/09/2022) Short Description: Call for Pilot Studies Preparatory to Large Clinical Trials: Complementary and Integrative Health Interventions to Support Deprescribing of Benzodiazepine Receptor Agonists in Older Adults Long Description: Benzodiazepine receptor agonists, which include classic benzodiazepines as well as the “Z-drugs” such as zolpidem, are a major source of problematic prescribing for older adults and confer substantial harms. Approaches using complementary and integrative health approaches to support deprescribing these medications show promise, yet studies in this area are for the most part small and of limited methodologic quality. There is a need for high-quality controlled clinical trials of complementary and integrative health (CIH) approaches to determine their effectiveness for helping older adults reduce use of these medications. The US Deprescribing Research Network (USDeN) has applied for a directed funding opportunity from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (see https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-AT-22-012.html) to solicit, select, and fund large pilot studies in this topic area that can, upon completion, lead directly to large and definitive clinical trials. While USDeN’s application has not yet been approved, it is highly likely that it will be funded, with a likely start date in August 2022. After this date, there will be a short timeline for research groups to apply for pilot funds through this mechanism. We thus strongly encourage people who may be interested in applying for pilot funds to begin developing their ideas and research team during this spring and early summer. We strongly encourage investigators who might be interested in applying – or simply learning more – to contact the US Deprescribing Research Network at admin@deprescribingresearch.org. We are happy to answer questions, and once we know who you are we will be able to provide updates about this funding opportunity as they become available. We anticipate funding approximately 4 one-year pilot studies, each with a budget of up to approximately $160,000 (combined directs and indirects). More details including timeline are including in the attached RFA. |
