As the scientific evidence mounts in support of medical acupuncture, the AAMA will continue its efforts to promote new discovery and encourage clinical research.
All members are invited to share scientific articles and research findings with AAMA staff so we can promote your work. Your contributions to the clinical evidence base for medical acupuncture can improve patient outcomes and help shape the future of our field.
The AAMA’s Medical Acupuncture Research Foundation was established to draw attention to the important work our members are doing and to support clinical and scientific research relating to medical acupuncture. The annual Allen McDaniels Grant – Medical Acupuncture Research Foundation awards up to $30,000 to a qualified applicant. All current AAMA members are eligible to apply for the grant. Deadline February 28, 2021. Learn more and apply!
