Grants are granted to support high quality, independent research which contributes significantly and directly to the knowledge and evidence base of massage therapy and/or its application. Basic, applied, and translational research studies which investigate massage therapy as a wellness, medical, or health/mental health treatment and/or prevention intervention are supported.
Research Grants are awarded to a single Sponsoring Organization, not to individuals. Applicants must be currently associated with or have secured the cooperation of a university, independent research organization, health center, or other institution (the “Sponsoring Organization”).
A Sponsoring Organization must have sufficient facilities as well as human and informational and Institutional Review Board (IRB) resources available to support the proposed research project and to perform the proposed work and expected outcomes (see Expected Outcomes).
Research Grants will not be awarded to Sponsoring Organizations which employ or otherwise have an ownership or contractual relationship with officers or trustees of the Massage Therapy Foundation, members of the Research Proposal Review Committee (“Review Committee”) or any spouses, domestic partners, children, descendant, spouses of descendants or any other individual related to any officers or trustees of the Massage Therapy Foundation or to members of the Review Committee.
