SAN DIEGO—The nonprofit InnerScience Research Fund has committed $10 million to the University of California–San Diego (UCSD) over the next five years for research on how meditation may slow the progression of serious terminal and chronic illnesses, it was announced May 17.
InnerScience studies the “biological and physiological effects of meditation on the human body.” The funds for UCSD will be directed to research on how the practice may affect the body and brain, and how it could potentially be used in clinical settings.
