CTSA Pain Research Interest Group

The Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSAs) provide resources and infrastructure to their academic institutions and partner organizations.  Although the Pain Research Community has benefited from the CTSAs there are many missed opportunities for utilizing the national network provided by the CTSAs to further pain research goals.  The CTSA Pain Researchers Interest Group (CPRIG) was initiated in July 2010 to consider and embrace all opportunities provided by the CTSA Consortium. We convene regularly via teleconference and wiki discussions to further collaborative opportunities and identify other ways to advance Pain Research through utilizing the CTSAs.
