Chiropractic Future has opened applications for the 2026 ACCRAC Student Research Travel Stipend.
Now in its third consecutive year, noted a Chiropractic Future press release, this initiative supports chiropractic students who have been selected to present their faculty-mentored research at the upcoming ACCRAC Conference, to be held March 26–28, 2026, in Kansas City, Missouri.
The stipend is designed to help cover travel and lodging expenses, removing financial barriers and making it easier for students to attend and showcase their contributions to the advancement of chiropractic care.
“The ACCRAC Conference offers students a meaningful chance to connect with peers and professionals, explore current chiropractic research, and build experience presenting in a scientific environment,” said Cyndy Long, PhD, a member of the Chiropractic Future leadership team. “We’re proud to support student researchers and help ensure the profession’s future remains rooted in evidence and innovation.”
