FCER’S EVIDENCE-BASED

CHIROPRACTIC RESOURCE CENTER RECEIVES GRANT

An unrestricted grant has been awarded by the Academy of

Chiropractic Orthopedists (ACO) to the Evidence-Based Chiropractic

Resource Center (EB-CRC) in development by the Foundation for

Chiropractic Education and Research (FCER).

“The EB-CRC is being developed based upon interviews of

leaders in research, academics, and national organizations, with the

goal of embracing the newest needs in chiropractic and adopting

programs which will provide practicing chiropractors, researchers,

educators, and associations with the tools necessary to meet the

demands of patients, other health care providers, and third party

payers,” J.R. Brandt, DC, FACO, Academy President, said in announcing

the grant.

“FCER is developing the EB-CRC to accommodate the growing need for

accessibility to scientifically acceptable research,” P.

Lucido, DC, FCER President, said. “This grant from ACO is very

important to FCER as we begin the necessary fund-raising to construct

this ‘virtual,’ online professional resource. We need grants such as

this as well as donations to make the EB-CRC a reality,” Dr. Lucido

added.

Earlier this year, FCER outlined the components of the EB-CRC as it

evolves. The center will consist of:

A

Research Information Center (RIC) – A digitized, searchable global

database as a resource to the chiropractic community

An

Intellectual Property Management Policies Program – This program will

develop procedures for protecting and mobilizing content as well as

policies related to recognition rights, publishing, copywriting,

licensing and so on

Chiropractic

College/Program Incubation Services – This service will assist in the

development of granting writing, research and trial design, data

reduction and analysis, report writing, capital funding and university

collaborations

Chiropractic

College/Program Faculty Training – The EB-CRC will assist in providing

for research education, project and position funding for professionals,

career development, and mentoring of student projects

Chiropractic

Clinical Training Program – The program will provide doctors of

chiropractic with education and training

Chiropractic

Professional Association Program – This program will provide

information, services and skills to professional associations, training

members on how to access and manage information

Members of the academy are designated as Fellows of the

Academy of Chiropractic Orthopedists (FACO). Academy membership is

comprised of certified chiropractic orthopedists who are doctors of

chiropractic completing extensive post-doctoral education in

non-surgical orthopedics, and passing a specialty examination to become

certified chiropractic orthopedists (Diplomate).

FCER is the chiropractic profession’s oldest not-for-profit foundation,

serving the profession since 1944. It is based in Norwalk, Iowa, and

has as its mission to “Translate Research into Practice” by granting

funds for research and producing practitioner and patient educational

materials including teleconferences, CDs, books, and pamphlets. FCER is

developing the profession’s only EB-CRC.
