The Perscription Project informs the public of physicians receiving gifts and money from drug and medical manufacturers.

The Pew Prescription Project is an initiative of The Pew Charitable Trusts to promote consumer safety through reforms in the approval, manufacture and marketing of prescription drugs, as well as through initiatives to encourage evidence-based prescribing. The Pew Prescription Project conducts rigorous nonpartisan research related to federal oversight of drug safety to better illuminate problems and potential solutions.

The Pew Prescription Project builds on the accomplishments of The Prescription Project, a two-year campaign created in 2007 by The Pew Charitable Trusts and led by Community Catalyst in partnership with the Institute on Medicine as a Profession (IMAP) to advance policies to address conflicts of interest created by pharmaceutical marketing and increase physician reliance on independent evidence of drug effectiveness. The Project’s work contributed to the creation of new conflict-of-interest policies at numerous academic medical centers and professional medical associations, as well as to new physician-industry disclosure measures adopted or proposed through state and federal legislation.
