United States-based, non-profit organization that organizes and sponsors research on

Pendleton Dudley was inaugural chair of the early group which became an independent organization, adopting the name "institute", in 1989.
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".
