Support Research in Honour of Dr. Greg Kawchuk
Dr. Greg Kawchuk was a passionate leader, educator, and advocate for advancing chiropractic research in Canada and around the world. In recognition of his remarkable contributions, this donation page has been created to support the continued growth of evidence-informed care.
Your donation will directly support research funding through both the Canadian Chiropractic Research Foundation (CCRF) and the Chiropractic Academy for Research Leadership (CARL) — two organizations that Dr. Kawchuk supported as part of his lifelong commitment to mentorship, collaboration, and innovation in musculoskeletal health research.
Scientifically validated research is vital to improve patient health, public policy and clinical practice outcomes.
Working in close collaboration with partners from within and outside our profession, CCRF invests in research you can trust.
