FCER celebrates 60 years of research

The Foundation for Chiropractic Education and Research (FCER) is celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2004. FCER was launched as the Chiropractic Research Foundation in 1944 by a group of chiropractors who each donated $1,000.

FCER hopes to raise $1 million for research and education programs during its 60th anniversary year to benefit the chiropractic profession through a “$60 for 60 Years” anniversary campaign. The Web link for a $60 donation is http://www.fcer.org/Donate60.htm.

FCER has funded the research and researchers on which the chiropractic profession now relies. This research has encompassed such areas as low back pain, headache, otitis media, neck pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome more. FCER has also funded research fellowships and research residencies.

The fellowship program is designed to build a research infrastructure. Fellowships are awarded to chiropractors who are pursuing advanced degrees and who have earned distinction in their academic and professional careers.

The residency program is designed to increase the number of qualified researchers in fields pertaining to chiropractic at accredited institutions.
