Background The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) was established in 1974, and in 1992 it became part of the National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services. NIDA’s mission is to advance science on drug use and addiction and to apply that knowledge to improve individual and public health through: 1) strategically supporting and conducting basic, clinical, and epidemiological research on drug use, its consequences, and the underlying neurobiological, behavioral, and social mechanisms involved; and 2) advancing the translation, effective implementation, and dissemination of scientific research findings to improve the prevention and treatment of SUDs, reduce adverse health consequences associated with drug use, and enhance public awareness of addiction as a chronic but treatable medical illness. NIDA’s Clinical Trials Network (CTN) was established in 1999 to bridge the gap between research and practice to improve treatment of substance use disorders (SUD) nationwide. The CTN seeks to address critical research questions with direct relevance to clinical practice and the needs of patients. Over the last two decades, the CTN’s research infrastructure and agenda have evolved to reflect the changing landscape of the SUD treatment community, transformation of health care systems, and emerging scientific advancements. The CTN has been engaging providers in general medical settings and healthcare systems, and in 2015 the Network built upon and expanded its research portfolio encouraging adoption of innovative bioinformatics approaches, new technology, and "learning healthcare system" principles to enhance the efficiency of SUD clinical research and clinical care. The CTN conducts clinical trials in sites located across the nation and in other countries. These are usually studies of behavioral, pharmacological, and integrated behavioral and pharmacological treatment interventions in rigorous, clinical trials to determine efficacy, effectiveness, practicality, and feasibility across a broad range of treatment settings and diversified patient populations, and to transfer research results to physicians, clinicians, providers, and patients. These studies are typically Phase III clinical trials, but can also include Phase I, Phase II, Phase IV, and/or registry trials or surveys.
