- $405,158 spent. During 2025, Field to Healed Foundation spent $405,158 on its single charitable program supporting Scottsdale Research Institute's development of lawful, evidence-based investigational therapies. With support from approximately 45 volunteers, the Foundation advanced on FDA-regulated whole-mushroom psilocybin research program with an estimated development value exceeding $630,000. Accomplishments included advancing one standardized investigational product; preparing regulatory and chemistry, manufacturing, and controls documentation; conducting analytical, microbiological, batch-release, and stability testing; improving quality systems and facilities; and preparing for a Phase 1 study expected to enroll approximately 24 veterans and first responders. The immediate objective was to generate manufacturing, quality, and safety information required for regulated human research. The longer-term goal is to produce independent clinical evidence and lawful access pathways for patients with serious or treatment-resistant conditions. Field to Healed provided charitable funding and program support; SRI performed the regulated work under Dr. Sue Sisley's scientific leadership.
