April 5, 2024
Its been an exciting few weeks for the team at the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) as weve been preparing for the2024 International Congress on Integrative Medicine and Health(ICIMH), April 913 in Cleveland, Ohio. This regular meeting is an important opportunity for researchers in the complementary and integrative health field to convene, share updates on their work, and exchange research findings and insights that can help generate new ideas and build on progress. For the NCCIH team, the conference is a chance to meet many of our grantees and other researchers in the field, hear about the challenges they are facing, and gain perspectives on how we can direct our efforts to foster the rigorous research needed to answer pressing health questions. |
Resources for Researchers Highlighted Funding Opportunities Upcoming Events April 30, 2024, 2:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. ET; Virtual Please join us for a preapplication technical assistance webinar to discuss RFA-AT-24-008, Leveraging Data at Scale to Understand Natural Product Impacts on Whole Person Health (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed). This RFA will support applications that develop computational tools to aggregate and analyze orthogonal chemical and/or biological data sets related to natural products in the context of whole person health research. The purpose of this webinar is to provide potential grant applicants with an overview of the RFA and address questions from the scientific community. The webinar will feature highlights of application considerations from program staff at the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) and the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS). It will also include a presentation on review requirements from NCCIHs Office of Scientific Review. Register now.

 June 10-11, 2024; Virtual The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) is partnering with the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) to hold a 2-day workshop to stimulate discussion about and interest in researching ways to reduce and mitigate the effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in people who have been exposed. Complementary and Integrative Interventions To Prevent and Mitigate the Effects of Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals will take place June 1011, 2024. Spanish-language interpretation will be provided for those who indicate the need. Members of the public may join by livestream and ask questions in advance of the meeting. Register now. |
 June 28, 2024, 10:00 a.m.-12:05 p.m. ET; Virtual This meeting will provide opportunities to share advances across three National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded force-based manipulation research networks, promote collaboration, and avoid duplication of network efforts.
