National Resource Center

A National Resource Center (NRC) is a specialized organization, often affiliated with universities or government agencies, that provides expertise, research, training, and resources on specific topics or sectors such as education, health, or social services. Its primary goal is to support and improve practices within its focus area by offering data, best practices, professional development, and technical assistance to practitioners, policymakers, and the public. NRCs help ensure that vital sectors have access to current knowledge and tools necessary for effective decision-making and implementation of programs.
