Seed Funding

CCRF supports our partners and established foundation stakeholders in their efforts to attain evidence-based research funding from granting organizations outside the chiropractic profession. We do this by offering supplemental grant pledges of up to $10,000, to demonstrate Canada’s national chiropractic research foundation is committed to maximizing the volume of high-impact, peer-reviewed publications. 

Pledge requests are evaluated on a project-by-project basis and awarded at the discretion of CCRF’s Executive Director in coordination with the Partnership Committee and board chair.

To be considered for Seed Funding your proposal should:

• Be led by a partner organization (signatory of a Collaboration Agreement with CCRF) or established foundation stakeholder  
• Apply to credible funders external to the  chiropractic profession
• Align with CCRF’s Mission, Vision and National Research Priorities
• Be executed by researchers in good standing within their professional associations 
• Include a researcher or investigator who is a Canadian citizen
• Contain confirmation the Applicant, its employees, officers, associates and/or approved subcontractors do not and will not have any conflict of interest (actual or potential)
• Be conducted in accordance with Canadian legal, regulatory and ethical guidelines
• Be eligible for publication in an accredited, peer-reviewed journal
