The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) offers a grant to support a phased research approach in uncovering and enhancing the mechanisms of mind and body interventions. This grant aims to investigate the biological, neurological, and behavioral processes related to interventions like meditation, massage, and acupuncture. Applicants will conduct two-phased studies to refine interventions based on initial mechanistic findings, with a focus on improving clinical outcomes for specific conditions. The closing date for applications is January 15, 2016.

| Description: | The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to encourage the use of a phased research approach to strengthen our understanding and utilization of the underlying mechanisms and processes associated with mind and body interventions.This FOA will support two-phased research applications to (1) uncover the underlying biological, neurological, physiological, and/or behavioralmechanisms or processes relevant to mind and body interventions (e.g. meditation, spinal manipulation, massage, yoga, tai chi, hypnosis, acupuncture) and then, (2) to utilize the results from the initial phase to improve, refine, enhance, or strengthen the identified mechanisms or processes through either rigorous validation and refinement of the intervention, or using combined approaches that, together, willmodulate the underlying mechanism or process.This second phase should also be able to provide preliminary evidence that the mechanism or process modulated by the intervention is associated with a functional outcome or clinical benefit for a specific condition or disorder. |
