About the NCCIH Coalition for Whole Person Health
This application is for eligible organizations to apply for membership in the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) Coalition for Whole Person Health. The NCCIH Coalition for Whole Person Health is an independent coalition, national in scope, that is comprised of US-based nonprofit organizations. For profit organizations and government agencies are not eligible at this time. However, mechanisms for Coalition engagement with these entity types are being examined. These organizations raise awareness about NCCIH, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the importance of furthering research on integrative, interprofessional, patient-centered, and whole person care. They are key stakeholders of the NCCIH and serve as the voices of the patients, communities, and professionals for whom NCCIH works.
NCCIH is 1 of 27 institutes and centers in the NIH and is the lead agency for scientific research on complementary and integrative health approaches. More information about the NCCIH Coalition for Whole Person Health can be found here:
