Who We Work With

Partnering With the Researchers Building This Field

AlmaDose Denver works with researchers, universities, and academic teams studying psychedelics in real-world settings. As a licensed Colorado healing center running regular facilitated sessions and group experiences, we offer something most research environments don't: an operating site, a trained facilitator network, and a community of participants already engaged with natural medicine.

We're built for two kinds of collaboration:

  • Researchers who need a real-world site and participant access for psychedelic studies
  • Research and academic partners looking to work alongside a licensed healing center on outcomes, education, and best practices

For Researchers Seeking Study Participants

Connect With a Community Engaged in Natural Medicine

AlmaDose provides researchers with an opportunity to connect with adults who are actively interested in psilocybin, psychedelic wellness, and natural medicine. Through our healing center, educational activities, and broader community, we can help research partners share study opportunities with individuals who may be interested in participating.

Areas of potential collaboration include:

  • Psilocybin research, including facilitated experiences and microdosing
  • Naturalistic and observational studies
  • Participant-reported outcomes and longitudinal follow-up
  • Research involving set, setting, dosing, and integration
  • Mental health and quality-of-life outcomes
  • Technology- and EHR-supported data collection
  • Recruitment and outreach for eligible research studies

All research collaborations, participant outreach, consent, and data collection must follow applicable research, privacy, and regulatory requirements.

For Institutions Seeking a Healing Center Partner

A Licensed Site for Real-World Research

Academic and clinical researchers increasingly need real-world settings to study how psychedelics work outside the lab. AlmaDose offers a licensed, operating healing center as that setting.

What a research partner gains access to:

  • A licensed Colorado natural medicine healing center
  • A network of trained facilitators
  • An operating environment running regular sessions and group events
  • A participant community engaged with psilocybin and natural medicine

We bring the real-world operation. Our research partners bring the academic rigor and study design. Together, that's a stronger foundation than either side has alone.

Areas of Interest

Where We Want to Collaborate

We are especially interested in exploring research and collaboration in:

Electronic health records and structured data collection for psychedelic therapy AI and technology for measuring, analyzing, and improving treatment outcomes Dosing strategies and their relationship to outcomes Microdosing protocols and outcomes The importance of set and setting Ceremonial approaches to psychedelic experiences Preparation and integration practices Transpersonal therapy in combination with psychedelics Group facilitation models and group psychedelic experiences Placebo, expectancy, and their role in psychedelic outcomes Mental health and quality-of-life outcomes Accessibility and affordability of psychedelic and natural medicine care

Research & Partnership FAQs

Can researchers recruit study participants through a licensed healing center?

Yes. A licensed healing center gives researchers access to adults already engaged with natural medicine, which can make participant sourcing more direct than starting from scratch. AlmaDose works with an active Denver community and can support recruitment for the studies we partner on.

What psychedelic substances can AlmaDose support for research?
Does AlmaDose partner with universities on psilocybin research?

Yes. AlmaDose collaborates with universities and academic teams studying psychedelics in real-world settings. We provide the licensed, operating site and participant community; our academic partners bring the study design and rigor.

What does a healing center research partnership involve?

It varies by study, but typically it means using AlmaDose as a real-world research site: access to a licensed Colorado healing center, a trained facilitator network, an operating environment running regular sessions and events, and a participant community engaged with natural medicine.

Is psilocybin research legal in Colorado?

Yes. Colorado has established a regulated framework for the use of psilocybin at licensed healing centers. AlmaDose can collaborate with researchers on studies involving legal, regulated psilocybin services, subject to any additional research, consent, privacy, and regulatory requirements that may apply to the particular study.
