How will the online program work? 

After registering on the PCRM.org website, we will send you a confirmation email with details about the online meetings. All weekly meetings will be held online through Zoom at the same time each week for 12 weeks. The email will also include the option to opt into the research portion of the study. If you choose to volunteer for the research portion of the study, you will be sent an online link to the informed consent form and the online surveys. If you have any questions about the informed consent form or the study portion of the program, please call us at (202) 567-2547.

How will the research portion of the study work? 

To better understand the effectiveness of our program, we would like to collect data from our participants as part of a research study. The data will not be linked to your identity and will be collected at the beginning and end of the program via online surveys. If you would like to volunteer to share your data, you will have the opportunity to do so after you join the program.

Do I have to volunteer for the study in order to participate in the program?  

You do not have to volunteer for the study in order to participate in the program.

If I volunteer for the study, do I still pay for the program? 

Yes, the registration fee covers the costs of the weekly meetings and instruction.

What if I am unable to attend all 12 sessions? Are the sessions recorded? 

To protect the privacy of all participants and to foster real-time engagement, we encourage you to attend all 12 sessions so that you get the greatest benefit from the program. However, we do understand that at times you may have to miss a class, and we will also provide you with the presentation materials from the missed session and answer any questions. However, classes are not recorded to protect the privacy of the participants and will not be available to view on demand.

Do I have to be plant-based to participate or benefit from this program? 

No, you do not have to follow any specific diet to participate or benefit in the program.

What is your refund policy, and can I pay in installments? 

We are currently only accepting single payments. We do not offer refunds for cancellations or missed classes.

How many participants do you expect in the program?

This program will likely involve several cohorts, and we expect to have anywhere from 15 to 20 participants in each Zoom class.

Can I get handouts for the program or classes?

We will provide a resource portal where you can download class handouts and other helpful resources.
