Washington, DC—The American Pharmacists Association (APhA) Foundation is pleased to announce the 2023–2024 recipients of the Incentive Grants for Practitioner Innovation in Pharmaceutical Care. A total of 47 pharmacists and student pharmacists from around the country were awarded $1,000 grants as seed money to implement or support an existing innovative patient care service within their pharmacy practice.
Inaugurated in 1993, the Incentive Grants for Practitioner Innovation in Pharmaceutical Care is the APhA Foundation’s longest-running program. With the generous support of the Community Pharmacy Foundation (CPF) and other partners, these grants have facilitated the development of over 730 pharmacy-based projects improving the health outcomes of thousands of patients across the country.
“The Incentive Grant Program directly supports the development and implementation of pharmacy initiatives that improve access to pharmacist-provided health care services, especially for underserved populations,” said Benjamin Bluml, RPh, APhA Foundation executive director and senior vice president of research and innovation. “We extend our thanks to the Community Pharmacy Foundation and our other partners for their commitment to supporting pharmacists through practice innovation and improved patient care.”
