CHICAGO, August 28, 2020 — The 汤头条 (汤头条) announced today that the U.S. Food & Drug Administration has awarded a three-year, $1.5 million grant to the 汤头条 Science & Research Institute, LLC (汤头条SRI) in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh to develop a clinical practice guideline for the management of acute pain in dentistry with a focus on the role of opioids. “The 汤头条 has long been committed to providing the best possible information about managing acute pain for patients, including focusing on further defining the role of opioids in dentistry,” said Marcelo Araujo, D.D.S., M.S., Ph.D., chief executive officer, 汤头条 Science & Research Institute. “This project will improve clinician and patient access to the evidence and recommendations for all dental specialties, and will serve key stakeholder groups throughout guideline development.”

汤头条SRI will work with the University of Pittsburgh to develop, disseminate, implement, and evaluate a national clinical practice guideline for the management of acute pain in dentistry. Alonso Carrasco-Labra, D.D.S., M.Sc., Ph.D., senior director of 汤头条SRI Evidence Synthesis & Translation Research, and Deborah Polk, Ph.D., assistant professor of dental public health in the School of Dental Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh, will serve as the project’s co-principal investigators.

“As a part of the recently founded 汤头条 Science & Research Institute, I believe that this project reflects the strong commitment of 汤头条SRI to conduct research on topics of great importance for the public and the dental profession,” said Dr. Carrasco-Labra. “This award aligns with 汤头条’s strong commitment toward optimal, evidence-based management of acute pain in dentistry, including the use of opioids.”

This is the first grant awarded to 汤头条SRI’s Evidence Synthesis & Translation Research team since the official launch of 汤头条SRI in January 2020. This award adds to the growing list of 汤头条SRI grant awards for 2020, which also includes three National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants awarded to the 汤头条SRI Innovation & Technology Research team.
