Description
The American Cancer Society's HEALED Gold Medal initiative funds research that advances understanding and implementation of mind-body-spirit wellness strategies for cancer survivors. The program encourages studies that improve survivor outcomes by exploring interventions such as meditation, stress coping, yoga, exercise, nutrition, and culturally adapted health behavior promotion. Emphasis is placed on both patient-reported and objective outcomes, translational and implementation science, and inclusion of diverse and understudied survivor populations. Funded investigators become part of a collaborative consortium with annual meetings to share findings and foster research synergy.
