Multi-disciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain (MAPP) Research Network (U01): -The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) invites applications from qualified investigators to participate in a multi-center cooperative research network to advance our understanding of urologic chronic pelvic pain syndromes (UCPPS) (this terminology is used solely for the purposes of this funding initiative) associated with the bladder (i.e. interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome, IC/PBS) and the prostate gland (i.e. chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome, CP/CPPS). This program will be named the Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain (MAPP) Research Network. -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. -Studies conducted by the MAPP Network will be carried out by basic, translational, and clinical investigators who possess diverse but complementary expertise. Substantive collaboration among all investigators is required. Experienced investigators, investigators new to the field, and investigators with a broad range of expertise who may contribute substantially to the goals of this program, are strongly encouraged to apply.
