About NHRI
The Natural Health Research Institute (NHRI) is an independent organization that supports research on natural health and wellness. Its objectives are to:
- Promote research on science-supported approaches to optimal health and wellness.
- Bring respected scientists and world-renowned thought leaders together at scientific forums and conferences to share their research with other scientists and the public.
- Study and promote the public health benefits and cost-of-care savings that can be achieved by widespread, responsible use of science-based dietary ingredients and related natural approaches to health and wellness.
- Encourage young scientists to engage in university-directed research on natural health remedies and the public-health benefits that can be achieved to help developed and developing countries reduce chronic disease and its associated cost-of-care burdens.
NHRI is committed to ensuring that consumers, scientists, the media, policymakers and legislators are fully informed about scientific evidence on the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of natural health remedies to improve health and wellness and reduce disease around the world.
NHRI History
The Natural Health Research Institute (NHRI) was formed as a non-profit organization in 2002. Its initial goal was to reduce the ten leading causes of death by promoting and making research available on the economic and health benefits of natural remedies. This remains its goal today.
NHRI began providing research grants to students in natural health through the Amercian Oil Chemists Society (AOCS), with the first award granted in 2003. Since 2004, it has sponsored five technical conferences on natural health topics in conjuction with AOCS.
