Cochrane CAM Field

Cochrane CAM Field Bursary Scheme

The CAM Field awards a bursary each year to Cochrane reviews for which substantial progress has already been made and whose completion has been stalled due to a lack of funding.  The purpose of this bursary scheme is to ensure that reviews relevant to complementary medicine are completed and published in The Cochrane Library.  Only Cochrane reviewers who have already registered CAM-related protocols with a Cochrane Collaborative Review Group are eligible for funding.  Reviews relevant to Traditional Chinese Medicine, a primary focus of research at the Center for Integrative Medicine, University of Maryland, have been encouraged. 

The Call for Applications and Application Form for the 2007 CAM Field bursary scheme are below.
