What this research studies

This research focuses on enhancing mentorship in the field of complementary and integrative health (CIH) research. It aims to train practitioners and scientists to conduct high-quality clinical research on natural health products, which are widely used by adults in the U.S. The program, led by Dr. Ryan Bradley, will support post-doctoral trainees and facilitate their development into independent researchers. By improving the quality of research in this area, the initiative seeks to ensure the safety and effectiveness of CIH products for public health.

Who could benefit from this research

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are post-doctoral trainees and practitioners in the field of complementary and integrative health.

Not a fit: Patients who are not involved in clinical research or do not use complementary health products may not receive direct benefits from this research.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to safer and more effective complementary health products for patients.

How similar studies have performed: Previous mentorship programs in clinical research have shown success in developing independent researchers and improving research quality in related fields.
