As part of the Affordable Care Act, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) was requested to recognize pain as a significant public health problem (leading to the publication of “Living Well with Chronic Illness: A Call for Public Health Action”). The Act also established the Interagency Pain Research Coordinating Committee (IPRCC) in order to coordinate all efforts across Federal agencies and departments to support research related to pain. The first result of the IPRCC was the development of the National Pain Strategy, which addressed the core recommendations of the IOM report to improve pain prevention, treatment, and management. The next step is to address the Report’s call to enhance the federal pain research agenda. To this end, Dr. Gatchel is now a Co-Chair of the IPRCC Work Group which will address research related to the Prevention of Acute and Chronic Pain.

2013 UT Metroplex Day
Ben Lippe of UT Southwestern, a student in Dr. Robert Gatchel’s laboratory, won the Biobehavioral category for his poster, “Predictive Utility of PROMIS-based Computer Adaptive Testing in Pain-Related Disability”, at the seventh annual UT Metroplex Day, held March 1, 2013 at UT Dallas in Richardson.
The goal of Metroplex Day is to encourage interdisciplinary research and stimulate research projects that leverage the strengths of UT Arlington, UT Dallas and UT Southwestern Medical Center. All three offer outstanding research infrastructure, cutting-edge expertise, and innovative collaborative opportunities, and the event is aimed at making it easier to take advantage of those opportunities.
This year, 165 registered to attend the event, which was highlighted by a keynote address by Shimon Weiss, professor of chemistry and biochemistry at UCLA. UT Arlington assistant professor of electrical engineering Samir Iqbal presented a talk titled “Crossing Boundaries in Cancer Diagnostics.”
Students and faculty members from each institution presented research posters for judging, with winners in various categories each receiving $200 prizes.

The sixth annual UT Metroplex Day was bigger and better than ever before, with a record number of attendees and research posters entered in the daylong event.
The 2012 Metroplex Day, held February 4 at UT Arlington's E.H. Hereford University Center, brought together students and faculty from UT Arlington, UT Dallas and UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas for a day of lectures and camaraderie, and gave students a chance to show off their research and explore opportunities for collaboration with those from the other institutions.
"Relative to the previous Metroplex Days, we had a record number of registrants, with 335, and poster submissions, with 135, for this one," said Dr. Robert Gatchel, UT Arlington distinguished professor and Nancy P. & John G. Penson Endowed Professor of Clinical Health Psychology. "This event was another testimony to the increase in the cutting-edge interdisciplinary research and collaboration among the three major UT universities in North Texas."
The day's keynote speaker, Dr. Sean Mackey of Stanford University, an expert in pain management, spoke about "Neuroimaging of Pain: The Strain in Pain Lies Mainly in the Brain." Mackey, a doctor and director of the Stanford Systems Neuroscience and Pain Lab as well as chief of the university's pain management division, said that pain affects 116 million Americans a year, with direct and indirect medical expenses of $560-630 billion a year.
