The National Catholic Bioethics Center (NCBC) is a Catholic, non-profit think tank and research center focused on upholding and teaching Catholic medical ethics principles. Based in Broomall, Pennsylvania, at 600 Reed Road Suite 102, it operates within the religious institutions sector and employs between 11 and 50 people. The center concentrates its work in four areas—Consultation, Education, Publication, and Public Policy—and provides information to institutions and individuals facing ethical questions in medicine and the life sciences. Founded in 1972, the NCBC is described as a leading Catholic medical ethics institution in the United States, with a board that includes three Cardinals and five Archbishops. It has engaged in partnerships with church and related organizations, including the Archdiocese of San Francisco to advise parishes, Human Life International on training initiatives, and St. Bernard’s to offer courses leading to a Graduate Certificate in Catholic Bioethics.
