The Institute for Public Relations (IPR) is a United States-based, non-profit organization that organizes and sponsors research on public relations. [1] [2]
The IPR traces its origins to the 1956 establishment of the Foundations for Public Relations Research and Education, a program of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA). [3] Pendleton Dudley was the inaugural chair of the early group which became an independent organization, adopting the name "institute", in 1989. [3] In 2016, the PRSA announced a three-year program of partnership with the IPR to "examine gaps in expectations and skills for new professionals, while also informing the industry at large on how to support its up-and-coming talent base". [4]
The Institute for Public Relations is housed at Weimer Hall on the campus of the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. [5]
