ADVANCING KNOWLEDGE THROUGH RESEARCH


The Palmer Center for Chiropractic Research (PCCR) continues to advance chiropractic through high-quality scientific research that informs chiropractic practice, education and health policy.


PCCR recently launched its Biennial Report, which can be viewed at https://www.palmer.edu/ palmer-center-for-chiropractic-research/research-report/.


Collaborative Research Projects


PCCR faculty collaborated as co-investigators on two new research grants awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Brian Anderson, D.C., M.P.H., M.S., Ph.D. is collaborating with colleagues at Southern California University of Health Sciences and The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy & Clinical Practice on this project. A key activity involves students from the Palmer Research Honors Program on the project; they also participated in weekly Spine Care Research lectures by renowned experts in the field.
