July 8, 2011: ACTION is now ACTTION!
A major theme of the discussions that occurred at the inaugural Scientific Workshop was the importance of translational research. To emphasize the importance of translational studies of pain mechanisms and treatments, as well as to facilitate internet searches and prevent confusion with other initiatives (Action on Pain and ACTINPAIN), ACTION has been renamed Analgesic Clinical Trial Translations, Innovations, Opportunities, and Networks (ACTTION). To reflect this change, a new logo has been designed and the primary website address will be www.acttion.org.
