Hemodialysis Opioid Prescription Effort (HOPE) Consortium

Part of NIH’s HEAL initiative, the Hemodialysis Opioid Prescription Effort (HOPE) consortium addresses the prescription of opioid medications in the ESRD hemodialysis population.

NIDDK Participation in NIH’s HEAL

In conjunction with NIH’s HEAL initiative, NIDDK proposed the Hemodialysis Opioid Prescription Effort (HOPE) consortium as a means of addressing pain and opioid use within the U.S. End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) hemodialysis program.
The NIDDK will focus on

• pain in U.S. ESRD hemodialysis patients
• reduction of chronic opioid prescriptions for the ESRD population
• behavioral, cognitive, and medical interventions to reduce pain and the number of opioid prescriptions in ESRD hemodialysis patients

About the HOPE Consortium

The HOPE consortium is composed of eight Clinical Centers and a Scientific and Data Research Center. The consortium delivers a pain coping skills intervention and offers buprenorphine to reduce dependence on opioids in selected hemodialysis patients.

Funding Opportunities

About NIH’s HEAL initiative

The National Institutes of Health HEAL (Helping to End Addiction Long-term) Initiative is a trans-agency effort focused on improving prevention and treatment strategies for opioid misuse and addiction, and enhancing pain management. Launched in April 2018 with funding from Congress, the opioid HEAL Initiative, brings new hope for people, families, and communities affected by the national public health crisis.

Research Resources

NIDDK makes publicly supported resources, data sets, and studies available to researchers to accelerate the rate and lower the cost of new discoveries.

• Ancillary Studies to Major Ongoing Clinical Studies to extend our knowledge of the diseases being studied by the parent study investigators under a defined protocol or to study diseases and conditions not within the original scope of the parent study but within the mission of the NIDDK.
• NIDDK Central Repository for access to clinical resources including data and biospecimens from NIDDK-funded studies.
• NIDDK Information Network (dkNET) for simultaneous search of digital resources, including multiple datasets and biomedical resources relevant to the mission of the NIDDK.
