In 2002, Dr. Paul Deutsch founded the Foundation for Life Care Planning Research (FLCPR), which funded numerous research projects from 2002 to 2016. In 2019, the Foundation was reincorporated in affiliation with IARP as the Foundation for Life Care Planning and Rehabilitation Research (FLCPRR), with the goal of funding both life care planning and rehabilitation related research.
With a vision of being recognized as a leader of innovative, valid, and reliable research, the FLCPRR remains committed to supporting rehabilitation practitioners, clinicians and students who perform disability related research. The Foundation will present annual awards to recognize individuals who make a significant contribution to the body of research or otherwise have a positive influence on research in life care planning and rehabilitation services.
