Critical Path Institute

Critical Path Institute (C-Path) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving and streamlining the process of drug development. We achieve tangible, actionable results by fostering collaboration between industry executives and scientists, academic researchers, regulators, and patient groups. To meet this mission, C-Path  operates as an independent, public-private partnership with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), created under the auspices of the FDA’s Critical Path Initiative program in 2005.
