The University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) Research Center for Neuroendocrine Influences on Pain (RCNIP) was established in September 2002 through a Specialized Center of Research (SCOR) grant awarded by the National Institutes of Health Office of Research on Women’s Health  (NIH ORWH), the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In June 2003, the RCNIP established a “satellite” on the campus of Georgia State University, headed by Dr. Anne Z. Murphy.

Joel Greenspan, PhD (right), a professor in the Dental School, is the principal investigator of the grant and director of the Center.  Edward Grace, DDS, an associate professor and director of the Brotman Facial Pain Center in the Dental School, serves as the clinical director and supervises the patient trials.
