Australasian and international research community
The Foundation each year invites Expressions of Interest (EOI) for grants to support research initiatives.

In 2011 we saw an unprecedented number of researchers submit EOI applications from Australia, USA and the United Kingdom with EOI applications totaling more than $560,000.

The Foundation is excited to receive these applications and is encouraged to know that researchers, chiropractors and chiropractic organisations the world over recognise Spinal Research as a valuable resourceful organisation facilitating research that is unique to the chiropractic paradigm.

The Foundation has established research priorities to support its vision to contribute and resource research that expands our knowledge base in health care delivery for the wellbeing of our community.

Funding favours those applications that contribute to the development of chiropractic in key priority areas. For the 2011 round research priorities include:

Priority 1: Fundamental Research

The Foundation is interested in supporting research that expands our knowledge and understanding of the vertebral subluxation complex and the chiropractic adjustment.

Priority 2: Clinical Research

The Foundation is interested in supporting clinically oriented studies that contribute to and expand our knowledge and understanding of the impact of chiropractic care on human physiology, the nervous system, global well being and quality of life.

Written by Ali Postles, this is an unabridged version of the article that appears in the latest issue of Illuminate, Spinal Research’s quarterly newsletter. Research isn’t just done in the lab, and case reports which reflect what actually happens in your clinics are a great and much needed contribution to the chiropractic community. This article includes a step-by-step guide to writing a case report so that your clinical reality can guide the future of our profession. Click here.
