Founded in 1984, the Center for Applied Psychological Research is one of the original Tennessee Centers of Excellence, and it is now designated an Accomplished Center of Excellence. Over the twenty-three years that have elapsed since CAPR began, CAPR has far exceeded all benchmarks set for its performance. CAPR faculty have attracted millions of dollars in extramural funding to the State of Tennessee, published hundreds of scholarly works, graduated hundreds of masters and doctoral students and many times that number of undergraduates, been elected or appointed to many national professional offices, and won numerous local and national honors and awards. By any standard CAPR is one of the most successful centers ever funded under the State of Tennessee's Centers of Excellence program.
