"The impact of the program, as just described, is wide-reaching and affects
all of us in our daily practice. Studies conducted today may one day turn
into the seminal works that guide practice beyond just our specialty."
on development of a clinical decision
support tool for prescribing opioids.
Dr Brandal will work with mentor
Maxime Cannesson, MD, PhD, and
Siamak Rahman, MD, all from the
UCLA Department of Anesthesiology
and Perioperative Medicine. The
project is timely, given the current
opioid epidemic in the United States.
Someone dies from an opioid
overdose every 12.5 minutes, with
more than half occurring at home.
Some of these victims had their initial
exposure to opioids with surgery or
an acute injury. I believe that regional
anesthesia and analgesia can play in
integral role in combating the crisis
by reducing opioid use in the acute
pain setting. If each of us succeeds
in decreasing the number of opioids
prescribed at discharge, the impact
of saving lives will be tremendous.
Desmond H. Fung, BSc, was the
first-ever recipient of the Graduate
Student Award, and he will be
looking at lidocaine derivatives in his
mentored grant. Take note: Letters of
intent for the next grant cycle for the
Young Investigator Award are due
August 15, and letters of intent for
the Graduate Student Award are due
September 15.

These are just a few examples of the many exciting projects that
have come out of ASRA research grants, demonstrating the value of
the program beyond our organization. ASRA members have access
to $240,000 in research funding each year through the program.
This includes:
* Chronic Pain Medicine Grant (up to $200,000 awarded
biannually)
* Carl Koller Memorial Research Grant (up to $200,000 awarded
biannually)
* Young Investigator Award (up to $30,000 awarded annually)
* Graduate Student Award (up to $10,000 awarded annually)
Delara Brandal, MD
The two new research grants started this year will no doubt lead to
some promising results for future investigators and shape the way
we, as regional anesthesiologist and pain physicians, practice in
the world.
So even if you aren't actively engaged in research, be proud of the
role that your membership organization is playing in advancing our
specialty!
