Center for Medicine in the Public Interest
The Center for Medicine in the Public Interest (CMPI) is a non-profit medical issues research group.[1] It was founded by the Pacific Research Institute.[2] CMPI's research agenda deals with clinical outcomes and econometric studies that analyze the value of new medicines and genomic and molecular-based medical innovation.
CMPI is a 501(c)3 organization and as such is not permitted to devote a substantial part of its activity to lobbying. Its officers have written articles on various issues including price controls on pharmaceutical products in publicly funded healthcare schemes in the United States,[3] and restrictions on advertising in the European Union.[4] The Economist Intelligence Unit has written that the organisation generally takes a pro-drug industry viewpoint.[5]
