The Chiropractic Academy of Research Leadership (CARL) program
The Chiropractic Academy of Research Leadership (CARL) program identifies, nurtures, and supports emerging young researchers whose research is relevant to chiropractic. The program’s ultimate goal is to create a sustainable research culture and ultimately a greater academic mass in the chiropractic profession by increasing research output and leadership opportunities within this group.
This program is led by three senior academics, Professors Greg Kawchuk, Jan Hartvigsen and Jon Adams, developed an international leadership program modelled after the Oxford International Research Leadership Program.
The ACA has agreed to contribute to the funding of the CARL program from 2020 to 2023 which will enable a sustainable approach to leadership development in research plus contribute to our knowledge base and therefore advocacy efforts. This funding is part of our commitment to research through PhDs, MRes and specific projects in addition to our support of students.
