2019 Defining the Future Grant Recipients Announced

The CPNP Foundation is pleased to announce the recipients of the fourth annual Defining the Future Research Grant Awards. The CPNP Foundation was incredibly encouraged by all of the submissions from students, residents, and fellows who are working to improve the lives of people living with mental disorders and their caregivers. Thank you to everyone who applied and is doing this important research!

A requirement of the Defining the Future grant program is that the research project must mirror the mission and vision of the CPNP Foundation. After a thorough evaluation process, the grant selection team chose four grant recipients. The award recipients are as follows (in alphabetical order):

• Josiah Allen, Pharmacy Student, University of Minnesota College of Pharmacy: “Determining Core Elements of Patient Pharmacogenomic Literacy”
• Nam Le, Pharmacy Student, Wingate University Levine College of Health Sciences: “Comparing Student Pharmacist and Pharmacist Perceived Role in Depression Screening and Suicide Prevention”
• Jessica Liszka, PharmD, PGY2 Psychiatric Pharmacy Resident, W. G. (Bill) Hefner VA Medical Center: “Implementation of Video Telehealth Clinical Pharmacy Services in a Mental Health Intensive Case Management (MHICM) Program at a VA Health Care System (VAHCS)”
• Grace Marielle Singson, Pharmacy Student, University of Southern California School of Pharmacy: “Assessing Mental Health and LGBTQ+ Care Knowledge of USC School of Pharmacy Students”

Defining the Future Grants are awarded annually. Applications are due late summer, and recipients are announced in early October. Pharmacy students, residents, and fellows are eligible to apply. Now is the time to start thinking about your research project and planning to apply during the 2020 grant cycle. Additional information will be posted online at cpnpf.org/grants when it becomes available.
