Eligibility

Only Cochrane reviewers who have already registered their CAM-related protocol/review with a Cochrane Review Group will be eligible for funding.

Description

The purpose of this bursary scheme is to ensure that reviews relevant to complementary, alternative and integrative medicine (CAM) are completed and published in the Cochrane Library. The bursary scheme funds are to be used either to help support the conversion of a CAM-related Cochrane protocol into a full Cochrane review or to help support an update of an existing Cochrane review. Complementary, alternative and integrative medicine (CAM) includes all such practices and ideas that are outside the domain of conventional medicine in several countries and defined by its users as preventing or treating illness or promoting health and well-being. These practices complement mainstream medicine by 1) contributing to a common whole; 2) satisfying a demand not met by conventional practices; and 3) diversifying the conceptual framework of medicine. The list of Complementary Medicine Field topics comprises the entire spectrum of heath delivery mechanisms including treatments a person largely administers to him or herself (e.g., botanicals, nutritional supplements, health food, meditation, magnetic therapy); treatments providers administer (e.g., acupuncture, massage therapy, reflexology, chiropractic and osteopathic manipulations); and treatments a person administers to him or herself under the periodic supervision of a provider (e.g., yoga, biofeedback, Tai Chi, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, Alexander therapy, nutritional therapy, Ayurveda). Eligibility Only Cochrane reviewers who have already registered their CAM-related protocol/review with a Cochrane Review Group will be eligible for funding.
