health level strategy for pain prevention,
treatment, management, and research as
recommended in the 2011 Institute of
Medicine Report titled ‘‘Relieving Pain
in America: A Blueprint for
Transforming Prevention, Care,
Education, and Research.’’ The National
Institutes of Health and the IPRCC are
seeking nominations for membership of
five working groups established to
support efforts to address this charge.
The working groups will focus on five
defined areas related to pain: (1)
Professional education and training, (2)
Public education and communication,
(3) Public health: care, prevention, and
disparities, (4) Public health: service
delivery and reimbursement, and (5)
Population research.
Membership on the working groups
will include representation from the
public, scientific community, health
care providers, and federal and state
agencies with expertise and knowledge
appropriate for each group. Members
will serve for the duration of the effort
to develop the strategic plan. It is
anticipated that each working group
will meet multiple times over
approximately 18 months. Appointment
to these working groups shall be made
without discrimination on the basis of
age, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual
orientation, disability, and cultural,
religious, or socioeconomic status.
The Department is soliciting
nominations for each working group to
include non-federal members from
among scientists, physicians, and other
health professionals and for members of
the general public who are
representatives of leading research,
advocacy, and service organizations for
people with pain-related conditions.
Nominations for representatives from
private insurers, professional
accreditation, certification, examination,
and licensing organizations also are
appropriate for some working groups as
are those from state workers’
compensation, Medicaid programs, and
health departments. More information
