History
In 2011, the Institutes for Behavior Resources celebrated its 50th Anniversary and honored our founder, Dr. Joseph V. Brady. The diverse programs of IBR are inextricably linked to Dr. Brady, who pioneered and advanced multiple fields within the behavioral sciences that are commonplace today. Originally founded in a post-WW II, prefabricated trailer on the College Park campus of the University of Maryland, Dr. Brady created IBR to be a living laboratory that provides services and conducts research to extend the benefits of behavioral approaches to solving a great variety of human and social challenges. While IBR is well known in the Baltimore community and nationally for innovative and effective substance abuse programs, others know IBR as a unique center of experimentation and development of human performance, behavioral analysis, and safety initiatives utilized by NASA, NIH, the Department of Transportation, the US military, state and local governments, multiple transportation modes, and other applied fields.
