Research

Historically, NVP and HG have been notoriously under-researched and relatively unknown. Thankfully, interest and attention in these conditions is on the rise meaning more research is being done and conversations are happening around the world. While we can’t give you a complete library of resources, we’ve tried to compile as many references as we can. Check back regularly as we will continue to update this page.
