CHIROPRACTIC STUDENT RESEARCH AWARDS |
ASSISTANCE TO OTHER ORGANISATIONS ASRF policy is to accept requests from outside bodies for evaluation of research proposals. They will be subject to the usual assessment process, and charged on a cost-recovery basis. A fee of $1,000 will apply and remuneration of $50 will be offered to referees who assess such applications. (All other work for the ASRF by referees, the PPRP, the Research Committee and the Board is honorary.) The ASRF has continued its International Membership of the Foundation for Chiropractic Education and Research (FCER) in the USA, and is continuing to strengthen ties with this and other chiropractic research agencies. For example, ASRF Chief Executive, Mr Noel Culbert, visited Toronto, Canada as part of a private trip in May 2004, and met with representatives of both the Canadian Chiropractic Research Foundation and the World Federation of Chiropractic to discuss issues of interest to the ASRF. Quality Chiropractic research becomes more imperative as community demands for evidence-based practice and accountability increase. I urge all readers to contribute through the Bright Future campaign to the ASRF Research Fund, which is tax-deductible for Chiropractors, Chiropractic Assistants and Chiropractic Students in Australia. Together, we can support this vital cause and benefit from the outcomes. |
