abstract: The International Classification for Nursing Practice - ICNP is an official program of the International Council of Nurses - ICN. In 2003, the ICN began to develop and to test the idea of creation of ICNP Research and Development Centres, considered important elements to concentrate and disseminate new thinking and discussions that promote the advance of ICNP. In this work we focus on the meaning, possible organization forms, advantages and obligations of the ICNP Research and Development Centres; and describe the ICNP Centre of the Post-Graduate Program in Nursing of the Federal University of Paraíba, accredited by ICN in July of 2007.
