Research

As academic scientists and educators, it is our responsibility to conduct sound research on our mindfulness program.  Hence, in addition to completing informational forms, we invite you to participate in research contributing to the discovery, development, and refinement of knowledge about mindfulness.  Your participation in the mindfulness research program will involve completing a set of questionnaires prior to the beginning of the course, weekly during the course, and again at the end of the course.  During the course, we may ask that you try out a brief performance-based measure of mindfulness.  Keep in mind that a $25 tuition reduction will be given to all those who participate in our research and complete the questionnaires.
