Request a Research Grant

The Osteopathic Cranial Academy Foundation is a non-profit, charitable organization, founded in 1993. It exists specifically to fund education and research in the discipline of Osteopathy, specifically Osteopathy in the Cranial Field.  We accept applications for research grants and grants for preservation of important work in the field of Cranial Osteopathy.

Two grants we have given in the past are:

    • A grant for preserving the Viola M. Frymann DO FAAO FCA, Pediatric Manipulation Outcome for Future Clinical Research.  That grant request was awarded $10,000.00.
    • A grant for $10,000.00 was awarded to create a professional archive-quality series of video lectures from the Introductory Course in Osteopathy in the Cranial Field.
