The Australian Spinal Research Foundation was established in 1977, and is internationally the largest chiropractic research funding organisation. We're Australian by name, but we fund and facilitate chiropractic research globally. Our capacity to fund research is made possible through the generosity of our Members, Donors and other Supporters. The Foundation has contributed greatly to chiropractic research, which has directly contributed to the chiropractic profession globally. As a membership organisation we have successfully funded 245 research projects at a cost in excess of AUD$2.8M. Additionally, the ASRF has developed a unique and robust research review process which all proposed research projects are assessed through before granting is approved. The review process involves both the Research Committee and Clinical Advisory Committee which are made up of an international panel of experts from both academic and field practice. The Foundation is registered with the Australian Tax Office and is recognised as an approved Deductible Gift Recipient for tax deductible donations made by Australian residents. More recently the Foundation has become recognised through the CAF America system for USA based residents to make tax deductible donations. Our role within the profession is to remain at the leader in facilitating the investigation of how chiropractic contributes to community health and well-being, and therefore our mission is “To fund & facilitate research, and educate chiropractors, communities & peak bodies on the effectiveness of chiropractic care”.
