The CPNP Foundation is excited to offer the Defining the Future Research Grants, an annual grant opportunity for students and residents/fellows interested in psychiatric and neurologic pharmacy, including those who are members of CPNP student chapters. With this grant program, the Foundation is able to provide financial support to future pharmacists who are paving the way in defining the future and improving the care of patients with psychiatric and neurologic disorders.
Eligible grant applications shall feature research mirroring the interests identified by the Foundation. For 2016 this is: 1) stigma associated with psychiatric disorders or 2) comprehensive medication management as a best practice.
The Foundation will award up to three grants with those accepted receiving grant monies of $1,500 to fund the research outlined in their grant application. Grant recipients must agree to submit their results as a poster abstract at CPNP 2017 to be held at the Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, Arizona, April 23-26, 2017.
Grant applications must be submitted through the online application process by 11:59 p.m. Central Time, August 31, 2016; recipients will be announced October 1. Research abstracts must be submitted to CPNP through the poster submission process, due by the published January 2017 deadline. Watch for CPNP announcements in the coming months for more information on the abstract submission process and timeline.
This is an excellent opportunity for students and residents to gain exposure and network with professionals in the field regarding research that will improve the care of patients with psychiatric and neurologic disorders. The Foundation is looking forward to experiencing your enthusiasm and creativity as exhibited through your research grant application.
