Homeopathy Research Fund
The Homeopathy Research Fund (HRF) has been established as a partnership of the Holistic Health Research Foundation of Canada and the Homeopathy Research Network of Canada (HomeoNet).
As more Canadians access homeopathy for health, wellness and disease management purposes, there is increasing need for scientific data that improves our understanding of this health care discipline.
The mission of the Homeopathy Research Fund is to promote the health and wellness of Canadians by advancing the scientific understanding of homeopathy.
The HRF funds high quality research that investigates the efficacy and clinical effectiveness of homeopathy and that contributes to our understanding of how homeopathy achieves its effects. A secondary goal is to increase research knowledge and capacity among practitioners of homeopathy through their engagement in research practices at all levels.
Our aim is to fund an annual research competition open to qualified research teams at Canadian academic institutions.
