Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation (CPARF) funds US-based research to change what’s possible for people with cerebral palsy, implements proven science, empowers people through education, and advances technology benefiting all disabled people worldwide.
CPARF invests in studies every age and every stage. We currently fund nearly 50 multi-year studies, including two fellowships for early career researchers, across six focus areas: Adulthood, Early Detection & Intervention, Genomics, Chronic Pain, Regenerative Medicine, and Technology.
The results of these studies advance the care, treatment, well-being, and health outcomes of people with disabilities and broader society.
CPARF invests in startups dedicated to advancing technologies that enhance movement, communication, navigation, and independence for people with disabilities through our tech startup accelerator - Remarkable US.
By expanding access to assistive technology, we can ensure that everyone — from people with disabilities and chronic illnesses to the aging population — is fully included in society.
Every STEPtember, people from around the world challenge themselves to move EVERY day while fundraising for Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation.
STEPtember is a health and wellness initiative that focuses on physical, mental, and emotional well-being. When you take on the STEPtember challenge, you're making a difference by moving medical research forward and funding the development of new life-changing technology to benefit all those with CP and other disabilities.
