財團法人中華啟能基金會視境況及時代的需要，於2001 年成立附設「台灣 智能障礙研究中心」，該研究中心主要在資訊交流與出版以及跨領域整合之二方面 研究有較顯著的成果，也在機構交流、國際學術交流、訓練課程設計方面亦有所 發展。該研究中心主要出版「身心障礙研究」期刊，迄今已出版至第十三卷（13 年），主要倡導與支持有關身心障礙者相關研究，包括醫療照護、法律倫理、福利 政策、社會工作、就業適應、家庭支持、復健諮商等領域論文，已出版刊登之學 術論文已逾200 篇，該期刊已被國內多家資料庫收錄，包括國家圖書館臺灣期刊 論文索引系統、華藝線上圖書館、TAO 臺灣學智慧藏、凌網科技HYread 台灣全 文資料庫等，期刊已逐漸有社會影響力。以一個非學術機構的社會福利機構，能 支持一個學術期刊實屬不易。未來我們也將持續發行《身心障礙研究》季刊，傳 承身心障礙工作之經驗心得與研究成果。此外，我們再進一步彙編有關身心障礙 研究之學術性文章，以利相關領域的工作和進展。春暉啟能中心走過30 年，展望 未來30 年，基金會在下列議題方面，是值得重視與倡導後續研究：人權保障之倡 導、智能障礙者之健康權益保障、啟智工作人員之培育、因應智能障礙者之老化 問題、新制身心障礙鑑定標準之影響評估、營造健康及安全與樂活的身心障礙福 利機構。

Chun-Hui Center for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities, affiliated by Chung Hua Foundation for Persons with Intellectual Disability (established in 1984) was established more than thirsty-year history. For improving disability research, the foundation launched “Research Center for Intellectual Disability, Taiwan (RCIDT) in 2001.

The JDRT is included by many local research index systems and it is increasing its social and academic impacts gradually. We commit the future disability research should focus on the following strategies to improve quality of life for persons with disabilities: advocate human right for persons with disabilities, strengthen health care and health promotion for persons with disabilities, supporting service manpower development for persons with disabilities, initiating research on aging issue of persons with disabilities, assessing the impact of new disability identification (ICF), creating healthy and safety institutional care for persons with disabilities.
