This study conducted a portfolio analysis of HEAL\u2019s research to assess opportunities to advance translation and implementation.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S2059866125000688_as2\">\n\t    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>HEAL projects (FY 2018\u20132022) were classified into early (T0\u2013T1) and later (T2\u2013T4) translational stages. Eleven coders used a 54-item data collection tool based on the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to extract project characteristics (e.g., population, research setting) relevant to translation and implementation. Descriptive statistics and visualization techniques were employed to analyze and map aggregate characteristics onto CFIR\u2019s domains (e.g., outer setting).<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S2059866125000688_as3\">\n\t    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>HEAL\u2019s portfolio comprised 923 projects (33.7% T0\u2013T1; 67.3% T2\u2013T4), ranging from basic science (27.1%) and preclinical research (21.4%) to clinical (36.8%), implementation (27.1%), and dissemination research (13.1%). Most projects primarily addressed either addiction (46.3%) or pain (37.4%). Implementation-related gaps included the underrepresentation of certain populations (e.g., sexual\/gender minorities: 0.5%). T0\u2013T1 projects occurred primarily in laboratory settings (35.1%), while T2\u2013T4 projects were concentrated in healthcare settings (e.g., hospitals: 21.6%) with limited transferability to other contexts (e.g., community: 12.9%).<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S2059866125000688_as4\">\n\t    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>Opportunities to advance translational and implementation efforts include fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, prioritizing underserved populations, engaging with community leaders and policy stakeholders, and targeting evidence-based practices in nonclinical settings. Ongoing analyses can guide strategic investments to maximize HEAL\u2019s impact on substance use and pain crises.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/cts.2025.68","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,14]],"date-time":"2025-04-14T08:39:08Z","timestamp":1744619948000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Advancing research translation in addiction and pain: A portfolio analysis of the NIH HEAL initiative"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7821-6440","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ginnie","family":"Sawyer-Morris","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Friends Research Institute"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Merve","family":"Ulukaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"George Mason University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bryce","family":"Kushmerick-McCune","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sam Houston State University Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kendra J.","family":"Clark","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"George Mason University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jacqueline","family":"Bruce","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oregon Social Learning Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Scott","family":"Gatzke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Wisconsin Center for Health Enhancement Systems Studies"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Scott T.","family":"Walters","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Faye S.","family":"Taxman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"George Mason University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"S2059866125000688_ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13012-022-01245-0"},{"key":"S2059866125000688_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.japh.2023.04.029"},{"key":"S2059866125000688_ref50","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.2009.163147"},{"key":"S2059866125000688_ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pmed.1001747"},{"key":"S2059866125000688_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpain.2009.06.002"},{"key":"S2059866125000688_ref43","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/acrefore\/9780190632366.013.491"},{"key":"S2059866125000688_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.dadr.2023.100133"},{"key":"S2059866125000688_ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11024-015-9271-8"},{"key":"S2059866125000688_ref56","unstructured":"56.
