 | The Cerebral Palsy International Research Foundation (CPIRF) is a not for profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to funding research and educational activities directly relevant to discovering the cause, cure and evidence based care for those with cerebral palsy and related developmental disabilities. CPIRF, formerly known as the United Cerebral Palsy Research and Educational Foundation, Inc., (CPIRF is no longer affiliated with UCP) was founded in 1955 and its 50 year history has been the nation’s principal non-government agency sponsoring research and education for cerebral palsy. The name change reflects the Foundation’s expanded mission to more rapidly and effectively promote cerebral palsy research needs by taking a more global view. The Foundation has provided guidance, funds and other resources to research programs in the United States, the Middle East, Canada, the UK, Australia, and Greece to fulfill its mission of supporting cerebral palsy medical research and disseminating medical discoveries around the world. | |
