NIH PRECISION Human Pain Network

The goal of the the Program to Reveal and Evaluate Cells-to-gene Information that Specify Intricacies, Origins, and the Nature of Human Pain (PRECISION) Network is to develop a rich, meaningful resource for knowledge transfer, and to integrate and share Human Pain Associated Genes and Cell Datasets. Building a knowledge platform to visualize, query, and interact with these data will support researchers and help accelerate the dissemination of vital data to the larger scientific community. These goals align with the NIH Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL) Initiative, which seeks to accelerate the discovery and successful translation of non-addictive pain therapeutics.

The NIH PRECISION Human Pain Network’s Data Coordination and Integration Center (DCIC) is funded by the NIH Common Fund Program and part of the HEAL Initiative. The NIH PRECISION Human Pain Network will leverage prior interdisciplinary collaboration to create workflows, tools, and infrastructure to define data and metadata types, to improve data management and sharing, and to integrate datasets and visualization tools.
