What Is FCER?

THE FOUNDATION FOR CHIROPRACTIC EDUCATION AND RESEARCH (FCER), founded in 1944, is the oldest and most respected chiropractic research-funding institution in the world. Since 1980, FCER has funded grants, fellowships, and residencies totaling approximately $11 million!

From research papers, to patient newsletters and informational pamphlets, to videos, promotional pieces, doctor bulletins, news releases, and much more, FCER publications supply a vital stream of information on chiropractic to doctors, patients, health care professionals, executives and managers in business, industry, and insurance, government leaders, and the public at large.
