Research initiatives are conducted in partnership between the University of Central Florida's College of Medicine and The McCormick Research Institute. Together UCF and McCormick co-manage the formal partnership by identifying research participants, administering pre- and post-testing, developing and testing program curricula, and disseminating results. All projects are evidence-based with lead investigators who are medical doctors and PhD's. The organization aims to use research experience to develop an educational resource center that showcases best practices and effective curricula for the equine-assisted therapeutic industry. You can find literature reviews we have completed and links to various research in the field on the Research Publications page in our Media Library.Current research underway involves the study of equine-assisted therapies for Veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
