Accelerating breakthroughs in prevention, interventions and cures for cerebral palsy

The Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Institute was established in 2005.

Our vision is to enable the world’s best cerebral palsy experts to find ways to prevent and treat cerebral palsy, a condition affecting more than 17 million people worldwide.

Since being established, we’ve committed over $67 million in funding towards hundreds of ground-breaking cerebral palsy research projects through the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation. Today, we are the world’s largest private funder of cerebral palsy research.
