Keiser University’s College of Chiropractic leaders, Vice President Dr. Vincent DeBono and Research Faculty members Dr. Maruti Ram Gudavalli and Dr. Ralph Kruse, are taking an important step forward in advancing chiropractic research by participating in a new national virtual research hub known as ENRICH (Encouraging Research in Complementary and Integrated Health Solutions).

A Collaborative Research Hub for Integrated Health Professionals

Developed by the University of Pittsburgh’s Chiropractic Program in partnership with the Institute of Clinical Research Education, ENRICH is designed to strengthen research capabilities across the complementary and integrative health community.
Through this collaborative center, participating professionals will receive training in:

• Grant writing
• Research administration
• Clinical research methodologies
• Interdisciplinary collaboration
• Mentorship and career development

This initiative aims to expand the research skills of health professionals while encouraging high‑quality, evidence‑based work within chiropractic and integrative health disciplines.

Expanding Keiser University’s Research Opportunities

By engaging in ENRICH, Keiser University’s College of Chiropractic will also gain access to potential pilot funding opportunities. These funds can help the university further grow its research infrastructure, enhance faculty development, and support future chiropractic studies.

ENRICH is funded through a $6.4 million National Institutes of Health (NIH) U24 grant awarded to the University of Pittsburgh, with the mission of training and supporting researchers from Complementary and Integrative Health (CIH) institutions across the United States.
