Overview

Pharmacy Resident Research Grant The ASHP Foundation is offering a research grant program to support practice-based research conducted by residents in ASHP-accredited pharmacy residency programs or by residents in pharmacy residency programs that have applied for ASHP accreditation. A secondary goal of the program is to develop pharmacy residents’ research skills while fostering development of mentoring relationships with more experienced senior investigators. The proposed practice-based research must be aligned with the ASHP Foundation Research Agenda. Submission of studies that evaluate advancing pharmacy practice in hospitals, health systems, and other ambulatory settings is invited. Practice-based research affects a wide range of practice model topics, including the utilization of technology, role delineation changes for the pharmacists and non-pharmacists, or enhancing patient care opportunities for pharmacists. ASHP Foundation As the philanthropic arm of ASHP, the Foundation shares ASHP’s vision that medication use will be optimal, safe, and effective for all people, all of the time.
