CPNP Foundation at CPNP 2017 in Phoenix, Arizona

The CPNP Foundation will once again be visible during CPNP’s Annual Meeting recognizing the generous support of our donors and supporting students and residents through various grants.

Pharmacy Student Registration/Travel Grants

The CPNP Foundation once again is providing complimentary registration and partial travel support allowing 20 students to attend CPNP 2017. The Foundation Board strongly believes that it is important to assist students in exploring and growing their interest in the care of individuals with psychiatric and neurologic disorders. What better way to do that than by providing financial support to attend the CPNP meeting. The recipients of these grants are selected by the CPNP Student Committee and a press release has been released announcing those awarded a registration/travel grant.

Defining the Future Research Grant Recipient Posters

In 2016, four Defining the Future Research grant applicants were selected to receive funds for their research projects each mirroring one of the current interests of the Foundation which include: 1) Stigma associated with psychiatric and neurologic disorders, and 2) Comprehensive Medication Management (CMM) as a best practice.

As a condition of the grant, recipients were required to submit their research for abstract consideration and, if selected, present their research results as a poster at CPNP 2017. We are pleased to announce that all four grant recipients were selected as poster presenters!

• Andrew Kluemper, PharmD: “Effect of Primary Care Provider Stigma on Appropriate PHQ-9 Administration”
• Jenni-lyn Ladutko, PharmD: “Implementation of a PolyphArmacy Clinic in Vulnerable Elders (PAVE Clinic) Within an Integrated Patient Aligned Care Team”
• Samantha Themas, PharmD: “Effect of Clinical Pharmacy Specialist Intervention on Metabolic Markers in Patients Receiving Long-acting Antipsychotic Injections”
• Tu Vuong, PharmD 2018 Candidate: “Incorporating Clinical Pharmacy Service into Depression Management at a Primary Care Clinic”

These four posters will be recognizable during the poster sessions with a sash indicating that they are a Foundation Grant Recipient. Additionally, all four presenters will be highlighted at the Foundation booth. We encourage you to visit these poster presenters while attending CPNP 2017.

The CPNP Foundation will once again be awarding up to three $1500 Defining the Future Research Grants in 2017. The Foundation will be accepting applications starting in May and are due by August 31.
