The NLP Research and Recognition Project Inc. (R and R) is an effort to develop a well funded program to network, support and participate in the long needed research of NLP and to gather the recognition necessary for its widespread practice. It was started in November of 2006.

 

 

#2. Establish NLP treatment centers of excellence for certain “diseases" such as asthma, phobias, anxiety disorders, post traumatic stress, depression, etc. as well as adjunctive health aids.

 

#3. Identify professionally approved academic programs, here and abroad, in Clinical Psychology, Psychiatry, Social Work and allied mental health fields and work with them to integrate NLP and allied methodology into their practice.

 

#4. Develop continuing educational credits for learning NLP and allied clinical skills for the National Professional Organizations of Psychiatry, Psychology, Social Work, etc.

 

#5. Develop University and Hospital based clearinghouses for the evaluation of utilization protocols, here and abroad.

 

#6. Develop the economic and organizational resources to continue to accomplish these goals for a long term future.

 

#2. A marketing campaign that netted the formal support of over forty NLP Institutes, two University Departments and five hundred

multi-talented volunteers.

 

#3. The submission of three state of the art scientific studies on the efficacy of NLP treatment of Post traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), ($2,000,000 to $3,000,000 Total)

 

#4. The largest Online NLP Research Library in the world.

 

#5. Preparation of NLP Papers for National Conventions aimed at bringing NLP onto the active national research stage beginning with the  International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies and followed by supporting NLP Research Conventions here and abroad. with the Institute for Advanced Studies of Health, (U.S.); The International NLP Research Conference, U. of Surrey (UK), and the European NLP Conference in  Spain (EURO).

 

Members: Judith Delozier, Connirae Andreas and Steve Andreas have agreed to serve on this Board. Their years of conscientious dedication to the development of NLP bring an oversight function that will insure the congruity and integrity of the Project. They constitute the final approval step in the development of every annual budget.

Structure: The Board of Directors will meet monthly, approve an annual action plan and budget at the annual meeting and pass the annual budget on to the Board of Trustees for final approval. Detailed organizational functioning of the Board of Directors, Trustees, paid staff, etc. will be presented shortly in the Projects By-Laws.

 Members: Robert Salluzzo CPA. Bob brings thirty five years of corporate experience, including CFO Management Positions and Initial Public Offering developments; Frank Bourke PhD NLP Practitioner twenty five years, former lecturer Cornell University and researcher London University; Rosalyn Anstine Templeton, Executive Dean – College of Education and Human Services, Marshall University:; Richard O’Leary PhD, Director of Human Resources, Corning Inc.; Professor William McDowell, long time NLP Trainer and current Chairman of the Human Development and Allied Technologies Department at Marshall University.

 Current Goals: The R and R  Project has functioned the last year as a volunteer organization. It was recognized from the onset that it could not accomplish its goals in this format. A first year $250,000 budget was developed and proposed along with a funding campaign initially aimed at wealthy individuals and corporations with positive NLP history.

  

The first goal of the Board of Directors to be addressed through their skills and networks is the development of a successful funding campaign that allows the project to transition from a purely volunteer organization to a volunteer organization led by a core paid staff. Current grant proposals and white papers need to beincorporated into the comprehensive three year action plan/road map under development.

The third goal is the support and enrichment necessary to sustain and enhance the projects personnel and mission in the growth necessary to fulfill its goals. The task at hand necessitates the application of skills and networks that span business, research, professional health, academia, and NLP. No individual carries all those skills and networks, necessitating the development of an effective working team. Our challenge here is to develop the communications and organizational framework to accomplish the  Projects goals in a fashion that reflects the spiritual and psychological  integrity of the team and the NLP materials. We will need to take some process time, as soon as we can afford it, to this end as well as complete the action plan/roadmap detailing Board of Directors meeting times and project/task delegations.

Research Team:  The current research team has been doing methodological and grant consulting, as well as developing future research hypotheses and conference presentations.Steve Andreas, Acting Chair, Prof. William McDowell, Prof. Mike Corrigan,  Prof. Amanda Corrigan, Prof. Rick Gray, retired Prof. Robert Gregory, Mike Saggese, Charles Faulkner, Joe Yeager, Ken Allen, Bill Garrison,  are the members of the current research team.

 

Marketing Team:  Tom Hoobyar developed and executed the marketing planthat resulted in the 600 volunteers and the 30 NLP Institutes that have agreed to supportthe Project. He has a sophisticated Internet marketing plan aimed at solidifying and enlarging the NLP community support base, as well as developing the use of the web site as a central marketing and communication tool. He is currently in need of part-time funding and Web and IT support personnel to continue his work.

Library:  Barbara Lockhart has spent the previous year, putting together the largest NLP research library in the world. It is ready to be rolled out and used online at any time we can put together the IT support to do so. Barbara is also in need of part-time economic support to continue her work with the Project.

Volunteers:   Many members of the NLP community over the last thirty five years have wanted a research component added to its formal operations. The six month marketing campaign conducted in 2007 yielded 600 volunteers from all over the world. The wealth of talents and energy reflected in their registrations represents a huge cost

effective asset to the Projects operation. After the addition of a volunteer coordinator the Project will ask many of these volunteers to serve as part time staff in operational areas and project developments.

The Advisory Board and Volunteers fromthe NLP community have been asked to submit

resumes and support letters from themselves and their personal networks reflecting the classes of helpers from business, academia, politics, research, etc that the project needs.

These letters and resumes constitute the core strength of the initial Grant applications. As Grant proposals are made, the substantive skills necessary to do the job will be reflected with support letters and resumes. It isn’t much of a leap of faith on the Grant awarders’ part that with monies provided the projects supporters could accomplish the stated goals.

Cost Effective Operation:  We need to put together a core group (line personnel and executive committee) with seamless on line digital linkage (e.g. Net meetings, digital information storage and sharing) in order to coordinate the tasks at hand. The effective use of the Project Web Site and internet communications is critical to the operating style of the Project. Its Boards, volunteer members and projects will be separated by thousands of miles. It is designed to be an internet, computer based operating organization using face to face meetings sparingly over its first few years of operation.  Additionally, if the Project mirrors a “blue collar” work ethic and lean service costs from the onset, it will attract the best Foundations and Grant bodies. Clear budgets, CPA oversight, evaluation and accountability need to be well done from the onset.

Paid Staff:  Initially the Project will begin with a project coordinator(half time), an office administrator(half time), a grant writer with a proven track record, ( half time ), an IT Web Master and communication specialist (0ne fifth time), a Marketing Coordinator (one fifth time ), a Volunteer Coordinator (one fifth time ) and a research librarian ( one fifth time).
