Program Considerations

NCCIH is interested in supporting research on the use of complementary and integrative health approaches for pain, including natural products and mind and body interventions. NCCIH is also interested in research studying mind and body approaches to manage stress, mild anxiety, or depression, and to improve adherence to treatment and prevention regimens to promote health outcomes. Examples of the type of research that could be proposed include basic animal studies, observational studies, or secondary data analyses. Natural products include botanicals, pre/probiotics, and products marketed as dietary supplements. Mind and body approaches include various meditation approaches (e.g., mindfulness), hypnosis or guided imagery, meditative movement approaches (e.g., yoga, tai chi, qi-gong), body-based approaches (e.g., spinal manipulation, massage, mobilization, acupuncture), a combination of these approaches (e.g., meditation and yoga, such as in mindfulness-based stress reduction MBSR), or complex interventions including music and art therapy. Applicants are strongly encouraged to consult with the NCCIH Scientific Research contact prior to developing and submitting an application.
