About
Since 1953, the National Pharmaceutical Council has been a leader in health policy research.
Who We Are
The National Pharmaceutical Council (NPC) is a health policy research organization dedicated to the advancement of good evidence and science, and to fostering an environment in the United States that supports medical innovation.
Founded in 1953 and supported by the nation’s major research-based biopharmaceutical companies, NPC focuses on research development, information dissemination, education and communication of the critical issues of evidence, innovation and the value of medicines for patients. The issues we select for examination and the researchers and academics we partner with position NPC as a uniquely credible and trusted voice in the biopharmaceutical research and health policy communities. Much of our research is published in peer-reviewed journals.
Our Board of Directors consists of a representative from each member company. The annual dues paid by our members make up NPC’s core budget, which funds research-based projects, ongoing educational activities and our day-to-day operations. NPC does not engage in lobbying activities.
Our Mission
To explore, demonstrate and communicate—through research, partnerships and education—the role and value of innovative biopharmaceuticals to achieve better patient health.
NPC is proud to be a Certified™ Great Place To Work®. This recognition is the global benchmark for identifying and recognizing organizations that create an outstanding employee experience.
