Description:

The Holistic Health Research Foundation of Canada has established a designated Massage Therapy Research Fund to further high-calibre research in massage therapy.

Pilot studies are needed that provide foundational data on conditions and populations where massage therapy is efficacious and that indicate direction for larger research projects. Our primary focus is on clinical research, with a secondary focus on mechanisms, policy issues and research capacity. The MTRF aims to assist collaboration between the scientific and massage communities in developing well-designed research projects that will contribute to developing a fully informed, evidence-based practice of massage therapy.

Application Details:

The purpose of the MTRF is to fund high quality research that investigates the efficacy and clinical effectiveness of manual massage therapy and that contributes to our understanding of how massage therapy achieves its effects. A secondary goal is to increase research knowledge and capacity among massage therapists through their engagement in research practices at all levels.

Studies may be qualitative, quantitative, or mixed method. The principal investigator must be affiliated with a Canadian charitable institution with acknowledged research capacity and that is willing to administer the finances of the grant.
