NIH Research on Health and Well-being To Be Discussed at February 8th Advisory Council Meeting January 24, 2019 Partap S. Khalsa, D.C., Ph.D. On Friday, February 8, the National Advisory Council for Complementary and Integrative Health (NACCIH) will hold its second meeting of Fiscal Year 2019. We invite our readers and other stakeholders to hear updates on the Center’s activities, policies, and funding priorities during the meeting’s open session. NCCIH will livestream that session on NIH Videocast from 10:00 a.m. to 3:20 p.m. ET, and it will be archived. We look forward to the first welcome and report to the Council by our new Director, Helene Langevin, M.D. The agenda also features a symposium, “NIH Research on Well-being.” The topic of emotional well-being, while a relatively new one for NCCIH, is one of our research priorities. We are interested in improving the well-being and health of people through the study of complementary therapies that can address problems such as chronic pain and the conditions that often accompany it. Well-being is also an aspect of disease prevention and health promotion.
