EMDR Foundation – $25,000 EMDR Research Grant Award
The EMDR Research Foundation is dedicated to the promotion of quality, unbiased research in EMDR Therapy and other scientific approaches to mental health, as well as the education of mental health professionals and the public. The Foundation’s purposes are:
- To invest in the development and dissemination of high quality research to inform, strengthen and expand the understanding and effective use of EMDR;
- To ensure the development of a comprehensive understanding of the range of effectiveness of EMDR therapy so that mental health professionals and the public are well informed and able to make the best decisions regarding evidence-based treatment options; and
- To enhance the quality of life for people everywhere by facilitating healing, health and well-being.
Grant awards of up to $25,000 are available for post-doctoral students, university faculty or clinician conducting research on EMDR.
1st Priority – Advancing Evidence Based Practice: Increase the availability of quality EMDR research in areas where we already have a foot-hold in the literature but where more evidence is needed.
2nd Priority – Addressing the Global Burden of Trauma: Investigate the use of EMDR in natural or man-made disaster responses, by determining the effectiveness of the following protocols: early intervention protocols, the child or adult group protocols, or the use of EMDR standard protocols in disaster response.
3rd Priority – Building Clinical Evidence: There are a number of areas where EMDR therapy is being used, clinical observations are positive, and there are some research indicators of success. However, more research is needed to build a body of literature in these populations or diagnostic categories.
