As a national regulatory agency, research is essential for NPRA to generate data as well as develop tools and policies to continuously improve decision making and regulatory activities. Publication of the research may allow NPRA to share our findings with a wider community, including other researchers, industry, healthcare professionals, and the general public. The dissemination of knowledge helps to advance the field and drive progress across various domains.

The NPRA Research and Development (R&D) Committee was established to plan, coordinate and monitor all R&D activities involving NPRA. The committee strives to foster an environment of curiosity, thus promoting better research culture within NPRA. Besides efforts to increase publications and presentations at both the national and international level, NPRA is taking steps to increase collaborative research with universities and other organisations.
