It's been an exciting few weeks for the team at the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) as we've been preparing for the 2024 International Congress on Integrative Medicine and Health (ICIMH), April 9–13 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 NCCIH's Office of Scientific Review. Register now. May 7, 2024, 2:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. ET; Virtual Please join us for a pre-application technical assistance webinar to discuss RFA-OD-24-014 - Botanical Dietary Supplements Translational Research Teams (RM1 Clinical Trial Required). This request for application (RFA) will support applications that conduct transdisciplinary, translational research on chemically complex botanical products or natural products to improve resilience with the goal of informing future clinical efficacy trials. 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 Office of Dietary Supplements and the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH). It will also include a presentation on review requirements from NCCIH's Office of Scientific Review. The webinar is provided for potential applicants who want to learn details about this exciting and unique funding opportunity that will provide a strong foundation for future transdisciplinary research on botanical natural products and for a future highly informative clinical efficacy trial of the effects on resilience of a chemically complex natural product.

June 4, 2024, 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. ET; Virtual This meeting is aligned with NCCIH's mission to support research on the fundamental science, safety, and usefulness of complementary and integrative health approaches. Specifically, minor cannabinoids and terpenes from natural products are part of complementary interventions supported by NCCIH. The meeting is also aligned with NCCIH's strategic goals of advancing understanding of natural product's basic biological mechanisms of action and improving care for hard-to-manage symptoms, such as pain. This meeting will be livestreamed through NIH VideoCast and available for viewing after the event. Prior to the event, NCCIH will send a link to those who register. 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 10–11, 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. The meeting's open session will featured updates from the trans-network scientific working groups and a keynote presentation by Valeria Vásquez, Ph.D., associate professor at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston.
