The National Wildlife Research Center (NWRC) is a research organization based in the United States that focuses on studying and managing conflicts between humans and wildlife. It is part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS).

The primary mission of the National Wildlife Research Center is to develop effective strategies and technologies to resolve conflicts between wildlife and human activities. This includes issues such as wildlife damage to agriculture, property, and natural resources, as well as threats to human health and safety.

The NWRC conducts research to better understand the behavior, ecology, and biology of wildlife species involved in conflicts. They also develop and test methods for reducing or preventing wildlife damage, including the development of humane and environmentally friendly techniques for wildlife control.
