The APhA and APhA Foundation will award up to four $1,000 grants. The grants provide seed money to help pharmacists implement or support an immunization activity (new or expansion) targeted to identified populations / vaccines. Preference will be given to proposals targeted to the adolescent oradult populations, those that involve new vaccines, or proposals that address documentation of immunizations.
The Incentive Grants program is intended to focus pharmacists’ attention on the need to reengineer 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 an innovative patient care service that is of significance to the identified pharmacy care settings and that can be evaluated for its relevance.
This program is made possible as part of a Cooperative Agreement between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Pharmacists Association entitled "Pharmacists: Connecting, Communicating and Collaborating for Improved Community Health" (Cooperative Agreement No. 1U66 IP000114).
