Description

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) plans to support multi-site feasibility studies of mind and body interventions such as meditation, yoga, acupuncture, music, or multicomponent interventions on whole person health restoration. The goal is to establish foundational work to inform future large-scale clinical trials and investigate potential mediating effects on emotional well-being. Studies must be conducted across at least two geographically distinct sites to ensure generalizability and reproducibility. Key expectations include demonstrating intervention fidelity, reproducibility, feasibility of recruitment and data collection, and exploring correlations between mechanistic targets and clinical outcomes.
