The Australian Spinal Research Foundation was established in 1977, and is internationally the largest chiropractic research funding organisation."We're Australian only by name, but we fund and facilitate chiropractic research globally."The Foundation has contributed greatly to chiropractic research, which has directly contributed to the chiropractic profession globally. As a membership organisation we have successfully funded 202 research projects at a cost in excess of AUD$2.2M. Additionally, the Foundation has developed a unique and robust research review process which all proposed research projects are assessed through before granting is approved. The review process involves both the Research Committee and Clinical Advisory Committee which are made up of an international panel of experts from both academic and field practice.The Foundation is registered with the Australian Tax Office and is recognised as an approved Deductible Gift Recipient for tax deductible donations made by Australian residents. More recently the Foundation has become recognised through the CAF America system for USA based residents to make tax deductible donations.In 2010 the Foundation signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Hamblin Chiropractic Research Fund Trust (NZ) to work together in funding chiropractic research. Since then there have been other organisations internationally that have also contributed jointly to funding research, including (but not limited to) the United Chiropractic Association (UK), the Edmonton Chiropractic Society (Canada), True Concepts (Canada), CalJam (USA), ChiroFest (USA), RAW (Australia) and the Berkshire Philosophy Event (USA).Our role within the profession is to remain at the leader in facilitating the investigation of how chiropractic contributes to community health and well-being, and therefore our mission is "to facilitate research that furthers the understanding and development of chiropractic care".
