American Society of Health-System Pharmacists Student Society Development Grant Program
The ASHP Student Society Development Grant Program (formerly known as Seed Grants) is intended to encourage the development of student societies of health-system pharmacy (SSHPs) in colleges of pharmacy throughout the United States. Grants are intended for use by the ASHP state affiliate and college of pharmacy partners to establish a new SSHP, or to strengthen an existing SSHP, and ultimately to aid the SSHP to achieve official ASHP Recognition (visit www.ashp.org/students for more information on the recognition program); Grant funds available may vary each year and are intended for activities and programs to be implemented during the 2010-2011 academic year. Grant proposals should outline plans for activities and programming as specified in the criteria for the ASHP Student Society Recognition Program; Priority is given to applicants who develop a plan to establish a new SSHP in a school where one does not currently exist; Schools with existing SSHPs may also apply for funds to strengthen the organization in an effort to achieve official ASHP recognition, with preference given to newly established SSHPs (within past 36 months) and established but inactive SSHPs.
Eligibility ACPE accredited and provisionally accredited colleges of pharmacy are eligible to apply. Satellite campuses may apply for separate grants ONLY if they exist (or plan to exist) as a distinct organization from the main campus (e.g. distinct bylaws, officers, meetings, projects, etc.). Grant recipients are not eligible to receive the ASHP Student Society Development Grant in two consecutive years. Evaluation Criteria Follow the guidelines below to draft your grant proposal. Successful proposals will address specifically how the activities and programming planned will help the student society to achieve official ASHP student society recognition. (visit www.ashp.org/students to learn more about recognition program). Objective: (limit to 150 words or less) Provide a brief, clear statement of the objective of your grant proposal (e.g. Launch new SSHP; Strengthen fledgling SSHP, Achieve SSHP Recognition, Revive inactive SSHP, etc.). Activity and Programming Plans: (limit to 2-pages or less) Describe the activities and programming you intend to complete to achieve official ASHP Student Society Recognition by meeting the criteria as listed below.
Membership Describe plans to hold at least one membership drive during the academic year to recruit members for ASHP, the ASHP state affiliate (if one exists) and the SSHP
Career Development Describe plans to administer the school-level Clinical Skills Competition (visit www.ashp.org/clinicalskills to learn more.

Quantity and quality of research stimulated by the nominee in the individuals trained or mentored by the nominee will be given important consideration. This award is not restricted to members of the APhA Academy of Pharmaceutical Research and Science (APhA-APRS) but recipients must be an APhA Member. The research area for which the award is presented will rotate among the disciplines represented by the APhA-APRS sections. In 2011, the award will recognize contributions in the area of clinical sciences. Self-nominations are allowed and encouraged for this award. Remington Honor Medalists are not eligible.

The nomination packet is to include the following items: • Nomination on official form available from APhA • A letter from the nominator describing the most important achievements of the nominee and explaining why the nominee meets the criteria for the award • Three supporting letters from scientists who are qualified to judge the significance of the nominee’s stimulation of research should be sent with the nomination. Letters are to address the nominee’s worthiness to receive the award and include (a) the major contributions of the nominee to the research ideas, attitudes, habits and achievements of others; and (b) examples (primarily of published works) of accomplishments stemming from those contributions. If supporting letters are to be sent separately, the nominator should advise APhA that they will be forthcoming by the deadline submission. • Sample article reprints of outstanding research stimulated by the nominee. • To the extent known, a list of individuals (students, graduate students, residents, fellows, etc.) whose research was stimulated or directed by the nominee, or who were directly trained, precepted, or mentored by the nominee should be included. This list should mention the individuals’ current area of research or significant published articles inspired or stimulated by the nominee. • A current full CV SELECTION PROCESS: The final selection is made by the APhA-APRS Awards Committee based upon a review of the recommendations from the appropriate section officers.
