==History==
Founded in 1952 as the National Fund for Poliomyelitis Research by Duncan Guthrie, the charity's original aim was the eradication of polio.〔 During the 1940s and 1950s, epidemics of paralytic poliomyelitis were frequent in the UK, and the charity helped to fund the first British polio vaccine.〔(BBC News: 'Polio milestone passed' (29 October 2000) ) (accessed 28 September 2007)〕〔(BBC News: 'Europe achieves polio milestone' (18 June 2002) ) (accessed 28 September 2007)〕 After the steep reduction in paralytic poliomyelitis resulting from the introduction of the vaccine, the charity's activities diversified. It became The National Fund for Research into Poliomyelitis and Other Crippling Diseases in 1960 and The National Fund for Research into Crippling Diseases in 1967, becoming known informally as Action Research for the Crippled Child. It was renamed Action Research in 1990, and became Action Medical Research in 2003.〔〔(Action Medical Research: History of name changes ) (accessed 28 September 2007)〕 The World Health Organization's 2002 declaration that Europe is free from polio coincided with the charity's fiftieth anniversary.〔
