إن إنشاء جائزة الملك سلمان لأبحاث الإعاقة يأتي في إطار الاهتمام الكبير الذي تحظى به قضايا الإعاقة والأشخاص ذوو الإعاقة في بلادنا من لدن قيادتنا الحكيمة منذ إنشاء هذا الكيان العظيم على يد البطل الموحد، الرائد المجدد، الملك عبد العزيز بن عبد الرحمن الفيصل آل سعود طيب الله ثراه.

The Founders Council
The founders council is the Centers highest authority, and directs the general policy direction of the Center and the achievement of its goals.

Purpose

It became apparent that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia needed to take on a leading role in fighting disability and its causes. And due to the high financial cost of running research projects, it was vital to unity the resources of the public and private sector to ensure continued support for the Center so it can in turn continue to foster scientific research efforts, regardless of their duration.

Formation

The Center invited key philanthropic figures and entities, who were quick to answer the call by joining the Founders Council and pledging their support for its humanitarian mission through paying a donation fee of five million Saudi Riyals (SAR5,000,000).
