Abstract: New advances are needed in every area of pain research, from the micro perspective of molecular sciences to the macro perspective of behavioral and social sciences. Although great strides have been made in some areas, such as the identification of neural pathways of pain, the experience of pain and the challenge of treatment have remained uniquely individual and unsolved. Research to address these issues conducted by interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research teams is strongly encouraged, as is research from underrepresented, minority, disabled, or women investigators.

Although not an exhaustive listing, the areas of research detailed below are of special interest:
- back pain and other musculoskeletal pain,
- cardiovascular pain disorders,
- chemotherapy-induced neuropathies and other malignant disorders,
- fibromyalgia,
- headache,
- HIV/AIDS related pain,
- neuropathic pain,
- osteoporotic pain,
- pain associated with communication disorders (e.g., otitis media, tinnitus, burning mouth syndrome, dysphagia),
- pain at the end of life,
- pain in older persons with multiple contributing morbidities,
- pain in people with drug and alcohol addictions,
- pain in persons with neuromuscular conditions,
- pain in preterm neonates exposed to multiple medical interventions,
- skin disorders and pain,
- spinal cord injury pain,
- temporomandibular joint and muscle disorders.

Organizations participating in this program are the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), National Institute on Aging (NIA),National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS),
