Resumen
Our research group recently published a Delphi study that identified Canadian chiropractic profession research priority areas. At the same time, the Canadian Chiropractic Research Foundation (CCRF) was developing their own research priority areas. In this commentary, we discuss the results of the Delphi study, compare and contrast these results to the research priorities of the CCRF, and report new data from a survey about where members of the chiropractic profession think that available research funding should be spent. Ongoing dialogue is needed with all Canadian chiropractic stakeholders to turn these research priorities into action.

Nota bibliográfica
Funding Information:Allocation of research funding in Canada by the chiropractic profession is in a transitional period, particularly as the Canadian Chiropractic Research Foundation (CCRF) moves from funding research chairs, to funding research priorities through a competitive grant process. In doing so, the CCRF acknowledged that its business model had to change to ensure long-term sustainability. The goal of the CCRF over the last decade was to fund a research chair in every Canadian province. Eighteen chiropractic researchers have been employed at different universities in every province across Canada, except Prince Edward Island, who are either currently, or were initially, funded by the CCRF. This program concluded with the final research chair position appointed at the University of New Brunswick in July 2017.
