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 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]
