Approved research grants, NEUROPATHY SUPPRESSION BY SPINAL MANIPULATION with chief researcher Professor Xue-Jun Song and CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT AND CERVICOGENIC DIZZINESS with chief researcher Dr Gary Shum are now available to read on the Chiropractic Research Partnership area of our website, click here to view.

During our annual grant funding round in 2012 eleven Expressions of Interest (EOI) were submitted including submissions from the USA, UK, Norway and Australia.  After independent evaluation of abstracts by the Clinical Advisory Panel (CAP) and Research Committee six studies were approved for full applications and ultimately four full applications have been submitted. These applications will be blinded and fully assessed by almost 30 members of CAP and the Research Committee before recommendations are made and final funding decisions are made by the full Board of Spinal Research.

NEUROPATHY SUPPRESSION BY SPINAL MANIPULATION
Chief Researcher: Professor Xue-Jun Song, MD, PhD

The Australian Spinal Research Foundation is particularly proud to be jointly funding this research grant. It marks the maiden Chiropractic Research Partnership initiative between the Foundation and Parker University which is also the first collaboration of research funding undertaken by Spinal Research in the United States.
The Foundation’s rigorous Research Grant management process scored this project one of the highest overall marks ever by both the Clinical Advisory Panel and the Research Committee, providing confidence that this proposal firmly ties together the Foundation’s interests in the effects of chiropractic spinal adjustments on the nervous system, and risk factors for morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, the Foundation believes that the data it seeks to gain from this project will significantly advance the relevance of chiropractic care and its acceptance in both the scientific community and general public. More information will be available on our website soon.
