 NCCIH Resources for Research Training and Career DevelopmentLanay M. Mudd, Ph.D. March 01, 2018 One of NCCIH’s primary strategic goals is to “Support research training and career development opportunities to increase the number and quality of scientists trained to conduct rigorous, cutting-edge research on complementary and integrative practices.” In pursuit of this goal, NCCIH offers many research training and career development funding opportunities, along with other resources for students, postdoctoral students, and junior faculty. As the NCCIH Training Officer, I plan to write regularly on this blog and update you about training opportunities and resources. |
How Do New NIH Human Subjects Policies Impact Training and Career Development Awards?

If you are considering applying for an NIH training or career development award, you may be thinking, “How do I know which funding opportunity announcement (FOA) to choose? Clinical Trial Required? Clinical Trial Not Allowed?” If so, you are not alone!
NIH has launched a series of initiatives to enhance the accountability and transparency of clinical research.
 Clinical Digest: Complementary Health Approaches for HypertensionSome complementary health approaches are showing promise as elements of a program of lifestyle change that can help lower blood pressure. Research results show that some mind and body practices, such as meditation and relaxation techniques, may help reduce blood pressure in people with hypertension. In 2013, the American Heart Association suggested that biofeedback and Transcendental Meditation, in addition to conventional medication, can help people lower their blood pressure. |
