By creating the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) the World Health Organization (WHO) prepared the ground for a comprehensive understanding of Human Functioning and Rehabilitation Research, integrating the biomedical perspective on impairment with the social model of disability. This new understanding poses a number of old and new challenges related to the enhancement of adequate research capacity. Here we will summarize approaches to address these challenges with respect to three areas: the organization of Human Functioning and Rehabilitation Research into distinct scientific fields, the development of suitable academic training programs and the building of university centers and collaboration networks.
