Multi-disciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain (MAPP) Research Network (U01)
Release Date: September 19, 2007
Announcement Number: RFA-DK-07-003
Application Receipt Date:
January 9, 2008
Letter of Intent Date: December 17, 2007
Funding Contact: Linda Porter, Ph.D.
Program Area: Systems and Cognitive Neuroscience
Brief Description:
The overall purpose of the MAPP Network is to conduct multi-disciplinary, collaborative, multi-site basic, translational,
and clinical research addressing UCPPS. It is anticipated that these studies will increase our understanding of the pathophysiology,
biologic and behavioral risk factors, natural history, and genetics of UCPPS. An important focus of the MAPP Network will
be investigation of the biologic and behavioral relationships between IC/PBS and CP/CPPS and other frequently related symptom-based
conditions. Related chronic pain syndromes of primary interest of this Network are fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome,
and chronic fatigue syndrome which have sufficient scientific evidence. Epidemiologic evidence is less compelling for vulvodynia
and migraine headache, but these may be studied if adequate scientific justification is provided. The ultimate aim is to
provide findings useful for development of future prevention or treatment strategies.
