New Support for Foundation’s Research
What is the Clinical Advisory Panel (CAP)?
The Foundation’s Clinical Advisory Panel is one of the most critical aspects of our research process because it is what keeps our research relevant and focused on the chiropractic paradigm.
We need the best minds in chiropractic on CAP to ensure that the research that is most relevant to the paradigm is prioritised.
The panel is part of our process that creates the intersection of philosophy with science. The job of the CAP members is to review grant applications and assess them for their relevance to our priorities and make suggestions as to how they would be more relevant to chiropractic and practicing chiropractors.
There are two main periods of activity for CAP - the first in late May where members assess Expressions of Interest applications from researchers. The second period of activity is in early August when the CAP assess a smaller number of full research grant applications (these are quite long and involve a lot of information about research methodology, literature review etc).
The role of members of CAP in reviewing these full grant applications and commenting in relation to chiropractic relevance is of critical value to the Foundation. It is through these valuable processes that the Foundation maintains its alignment and recognition with the profession’s research needs, hopes and aspirations.
