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,” Vincent 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.
