The National Centre for Chiropractic Research (NCCR) is based at Health Sciences University (HSU) and in partnership with London South Bank University (LSBU), McTimoney College of Chiropractic, Teesside University, and the University of South Wales.
The Centre builds on the legacy of the Chiropractic Research Council (CRC) and will provide a national focus for high-quality scientific research that supports the advancement of chiropractic education, practice, and patient care.
The NCCR has been established to:
- strengthen the evidence base for chiropractic and musculoskeletal care;
- support collaboration across UK chiropractic education institutions;
- build research capacity and capability across the profession; and
- support the translation of research into clinical practice, education, and policy.
The CRC has transferred its remaining funds and all current funding commitments to the NCCR. Future funding applications will be invited through open, competitive research calls to support high-quality, impactful projects. Further details about funding opportunities, governance arrangements, and ways to get involved will be shared as the Centre formally launches.
This webpage is a holding page while final governance arrangements are completed. Further information about the NCCR will be added to this area of the HSU website in due course, including details of research priorities, funding calls, governance, and opportunities to engage with the Centre.
