A Leader In Research
The Parker University Research Center coordinates and facilitates the development and execution of a research agenda consistent with the overall mission of Parker University. That agenda has led to the advancement of the University within the scientific/professional community and contributed sound scientific evidence that supports public health and the chiropractic profession, education, business and technology.
Our Mission
Establish and sustain a culture that promotes research excellence, which is patient-centered and innovative
Objectives
- Develop innovative, patient-centered research that drives the science of healthcare.
- Train Parker students and faculty, as well as independent clinicians, to produce evidence within their specialized field(s).
- Enhance awareness of Parker research endeavors within the University, local organizations, as well as increase our national and global presence.
