Abstract/Notes Research careers are a relatively new reality for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) practitioners (eg, chiropractors, naturopaths, doctors of oriental medicine, etc). Before the establishment in 1998 of the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) as part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), there were few funding resources available for those interested in a CAM research career and fewer still feasible paths. Now, however, NCCAM provides a broad array of research training and career development awards for those seeking a long-term career in CAM research. These awards include predoctoral and postdoctoral fellowships, individual career development awards, and institutional training awards. The goal of this article is to provide information about current research training funding opportunities from NCCAM and NIH as a whole that are available to CAM practitioners in the context of the historical challenges of transitioning from a clinical career in CAM practice to a CAM research career.
