Humans Research Foundation; July 15, 2016
Description
The
Horses and Humans Research Foundation invites proposals from nonprofit
organizations for its 2016 research grants program. Grants of up to $100,000 will
be awarded for research that investigates the therapeutic effects of horses on
humans. The foundation's broad research agenda includes basic research as well
as clinical studies with the potential to impact the physical and mental health
and quality of life for people with disabilities who are involved with
equine-assisted activities/therapies. Equine-assisted activities studies are
needed that validate horse–rider combinations; therapeutic riding lesson
progression; professional qualifications; lesson duration; lesson frequency;
lesson effectiveness; frequency of treatment; outcomes of treatment; efficacy
for different diagnosis; efficacy within age ranges; duration of treatment;
protocols during treatment; horse selection for treatment; equine movement
during treatment; and professional competency recommendation.
