The primary mission of Palmer’s Research Clinic is to conduct high-quality chiropractic clinical research. Our experienced staff is committed to making sure participants thoroughly understand all aspects of involvement in a study and our skilled doctors of chiropractic carefully provide high-quality care in a research setting.

Faculty grants and publications

Palmer College faculty members conduct research studies as an integral part of their commitment to excellence in teaching and scholarship. Many are recipients of grants from institutions such as the prestigious National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, National Institutes of Health and Health Resources and Services Administration. Many also are published in leading peer-reviewed publications.

Student research opportunities

All students are welcome and encouraged to get involved in research by joining clubs or taking advantage of the valuable experience to participate in research projects under the guidance of faculty mentors. Qualified students also can take part in our research honors program or enroll in our master’s degree program in clinical research, a program originally funded through the National Institutes of Health.
