Wholistic Healing Research for Eating Disorders for Everyone

NourishED Research Foundation, Inc. (NRFi) is a research foundation dedicated to catalyzing breakthroughs in understanding, preventing, and treating eating disorders and related issues of justice, equity, diversity, inclusion, oppression, and invalidation. We prioritize community-based research, patient narratives, and equal-access treatment options for eating disorders, for everyone.

We offer a variety of research programs that explore various aspects of binge-type eating disorders. These include research programs focussing on treatment barriers, obtaining and raising patient narratives, and exploring equal-access community-based treatment options and approaches for binge-type eating disorders, for everyone.

We are a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization. We rely on donations to support our research, publications, and outreach. This includes donations of money, resources, service, and time. We offer a variety of opportunities for individuals and groups to get involved and make a difference in the lives of those we serve through donation levels and volunteer research services.

If you or someone you know struggles with an eating disorder, we offer a variety of free resources that can be accessed here. We also invite you to participate in one of our research projects to volunteer your voice and experience for the advancement of eating disorder research.

All NRFi research findings are published in open-access journals, making them freely accessible to all individuals. We also provide plain English summaries for all NRFi publications, to help make our findings accessible to all.
