The mission of the Center for Pharmaceutical Process Research is to foster an interdisciplinary approach to pharmaceutical processing-related research, to catalyze interaction between industrial and academic scientists, and to make the application of a basic science approach to formulation and manufacture of drug products an integral part of graduate pharmaceutical education.
The CPPR is funded in part by the National Science Foundation under the Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRC) program, which encourages cooperative research between academia and industry.
