The Pain/Opioid CORE supports domain-based workgroups to help promote scientific study; identify research gaps in pain management and opioid use disorder (OUD) health services research; and facilitate networking and career development of VA pain/opioid researchers.
Chair: Matthew Bair, MD, MS
A high priority of the Pain/Opioid CORE is to facilitate career development of early career VA investigators and investigators new to pain or opioid-related research through collaboration and professional development activities.
The VA Pain/Opioid Research Career Development workgroup is open to VA investigators at any stage of their career. The mission of the workgroup is to facilitate connections and dialogue between established researchers and early career VA investigators interested in pain and opioid-related research and to expand the professional networks of members.
Meetings are held via Teams at 4:00 pm ET the third Monday of every month (some exceptions due to holidays).
Meeting topics rotate among career development topics; presentations by early career researchers and CORE Rapid Start Funding awardees; and each meeting includes time for open questions and discussion.
Email PainOpioidCORE@va.gov with workgroup-related questions.
