Time and again, we come across difficulties in conducting/undertaking research, may be due to insufficient funds/grants, scarce resources, limited exposure, inadequate manpower, lack of expertise,  or just lack of time.

PHORECISS*

To promote interdisciplinary and community supported homeopathic research, IPRH has started a unique, intuitive, not-for-profit, voluntary initiative – PHORECISS which is Promotion of Homeopathic Research through Community# Initiated and Supported Studies. It is introduced on the philosophy that we all have some or the other capabilities which may be collated for homeopathic research.

The thin line between “desire” and “undertaking” research can be taken care of!

For A Research We Need:

• Research question
• Hypothesis
• Literature review
• Suitable design
• Population/Sample
• Instrumentation
• Data collection
• Data processing
• Analysis and Evaluation
• Publication support
• Funds/Grants Etc.

And this is also true that every individual has his/her own insights, experiences, USPs and expertise.

PHORECISS is Sharing What We Know and What We Want to Know!

The AIM and Mission

• Providing research sensitization & orientation to strengthen members within organizational and community settings.
• Motivating organizations and homeopathic communities to design and undertake quality homeopathic research.
• Data sharing.
• Research evaluation of studies*.

Modus Operandi

• Formulation of Working Groups
• Collaboration between individual clinicians, researchers/scientists, homeopathic organizations/associations.
• Identification of core areas for undertaking research in homeopathy by discussions, exchange of ideas.
• Identifying research questions and generation of hypothesis.
• Formulations of proposals and protocols.
• Obtaining approval of protocols as per standards of research.
• Data collection at single or multiple sites using approved protocols.
• Evaluation and analysis of results.
• Publication of results.

Working Groups

Working groups are formed according to the expertise and areas of interest. The groups can be Moderated or Self-Help Groups. The aim is to share and discuss data for capacity building, so that the key areas of homeopathic research can be addressed at local, regional, and statewide level.

Case Studies

Below are few examples of PHORECISS in action!

• Formulation of key document – Priority Areas for Research in Homeopathy
• Survey on, “Use of nosodes in homeopathic clinical practice (Published)”
• Survey on, “How much we dispense as a Dose?”
• Draft Template for Writing Homeopathic Clinical Trial Protocols – Version-I
