ISRC Mission

Our mission is to advance evidence-based clinical research on integrative and functional health modalities, including nutrition, coaching, Ayurveda, herbal medicine, acupuncture, and mindfulness. We aim to serve diverse populations, including veterans, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ communities, by addressing critical health issues such as mental health, substance use, gut health, and hormonal balance. Through innovative projects and a holistic approach, we seek to promote healing, inclusivity, and the integration of science and wellness for all.

ISRC Current Project

Step 1: Research Development Groups & Networking -
Building & Working On!

Research Development Groups bring together like-minded researchers who are beginners to advance from different disciplines interested in particular topic areas to engage in research development groups that can foster new interdisciplinary collaborations, evaluate funding opportunities, and submit research proposals and joint publications. ISRC currently has two active research development group and is working towards starting more, always looking to add new topic areas.

Future ISRC Projects

Step 2: Create and offer a Journal for Publications & Peer Reviewers

Part of being a research development group is to provide scientific evidence research and a place that will allow that research to be published with peer reviewers while making it accessible, efficient, and breaking down barriers. This will be an eventual project for the board to focus on and bring to fruition.

Step 3: Create and provide IRB services

There is a place for various types of scientific evidence-based research, from human studies to secondary studies. Another future project would be to provide an actual Institutional Review Board (IRB). This committee reviews research methods to ensure they are ethical or to give a partnership with an established IRB or several IRBs. The IRB aims to protect the participant rights and welfare of human research. This will be another eventual project for the board to review and focus on.

Step 4: Community and Giving Back

As things grow and this grows in the non-profit arena, the hope will be to give back to the community through a scholarship that was designed and began in 2021 by the owner of 5 Elements Coaching RDG. This scholarship was tabled, but the hope is to renew it and bring it to fruition in the future through this Research Development Group's non-profit grants and fundraisers, along with creating paying positions and other aspects to support the community and those who work behind the scenes. This probably won't be the last step, but for transparency, this is the plan for the 5 Elements Coaching RDG board once up and running.
