This grant is for organizations interested in conducting early-phase, multi-site clinical trials focused on mind and body interventions, such as therapies that combine physical and psychological approaches. The goal is to explore how these interventions can improve emotional well-being and overall health. The trials will help determine if these interventions can be consistently applied across different locations and if they effectively engage the intended emotional well-being mechanisms.
Who it's for: This grant is for organizations such as universities, small businesses, and government entities that are interested in conducting clinical trials on mind and body interventions. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments, small businesses, state and local governments, special district governments, nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status), and for-profit organizations.
