HEAL Data2Action (HD2A)
Research Adoption Support Center (RASC)

The Research Adoption Support Center (RASC) uses implementation science to improve the scalability and sustainability of evidence–based practices for opioid use disorder and pain-related conditions. 

Despite unprecedented federal investment to address the US opioid epidemic, a tragic gap persists between proven interventions for opioid addiction and pain and access to these interventions by the people who need them the most.

RASC works with the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)-funded HEAL Data2Action (HD2A) Program that uses data to implement pragmatic, action-oriented projects that reduce overdoses and improve opioid use disorder treatment and pain management.

RASC provides expert consultation to the HD2A research projects on making their interventions more ‘implementable’ and creates practical implementation science-based tools for scientists and health care practitioners to use in their work.
