Federal Pharmacists Incentive Grants Application Deadline: December 15, 2008The APhA Foundation will award grants in the amount of $2,000 for projects to be initiated for military or civil service pharmacists working in the Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Navy, Department of Veterans Affairs or the Public Health Service. The grants provide seed money to help pharmacists in federal sector practice settings with start-up costs to establish a new pharmaceutical care project or to use as continuing development costs to expand an already existing project, and to encourage them to share their experiences with other pharmacists within the federal sector. The Federal Pharmacists Incentive Grants program is intended to focus pharmacists’ attention on the need to re-engineer their practices along lines that incorporate more specific patient-centered services and enhance health care delivery with the use of today’s technology. The project should concentrate on a new, innovative patient care service or expand an already existing service that is of significance to the pharmacy profession and that can be evaluated for its relevance. The incentive grant project proposals must be in one of the following areas: * Osteoporosis * Oncology * Hepatitis-C * HIV/AIDS * Other Infectious Diseases * Medication Therapy Management ServicesThe APhA Foundation has awarded incentive grants to pharmacists in a variety of practice settings for over ten years. This is the second year for the Federal Pharmacists Incentive Grants program which is made possible with support from The Roche Foundation.
