The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering this Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant Award (R21) to advance our scientific understanding of the placebo effect. This grant is specifically for investigating the underlying biological pathways that contribute to placebo responses. The primary purpose is to elucidate the mechanisms by which placebo effects occur and to develop better methodologies for recognizing and enhancing their therapeutic benefits in various clinical contexts. Researchers are encouraged to submit proposals that aim to bridge the gap between basic science and clinical application, ultimately improving patient care. This initiative seeks to build a robust scientific foundation for harnessing the positive aspects of the placebo effect in both clinical research and everyday practice.
