Each year the CPNP Foundation seeks to feature their success and advance their mission at the CPNP Annual Meeting. This year, the Foundation shared three ways we are working to enhance the capacity of pharmacy professionals to ensure effective and compassionate treatment of individuals with mental disorders as illustrated in the graphic below.

Defining the Future Research Grants

The recipients of the Defining the Future Research Grant Program for Students and Residents were recognized at CPNP 2017, and each recipient presented a poster at the event. For more information on the grant recipients’ experience, read the article “Defining the Future Grants Recipients Present Their Research” in this issue of Kaleidoscope.

Defining the Future is an annual grant program offering a competitive selection process from which the Foundation selects up to three research projects to fund up to $1500 each. Funded projects must be in line with the Foundation’s current initiatives. For more information about current 2017 grant opportunities, visit the Foundation’s website at cpnpf.org/grants. 

Strategic Goals Award

CPNP 2017 was the second year the Foundation offered the CPNP Foundation Strategic Goals Award. To be eligible for this award, the researcher’s abstract must have addressed stigma associated with psychiatric disorders or comprehensive medication management as a best practice. The Foundation is pleased to announce that Jenni Ladutko, PharmD, was both a Defining the Future Research Grant recipient and the winner of the 2017 CPNP Foundation Strategic Goals Award. Dr. Ladutko’s poster entitled Implementation of a polypharmacy clinic in vulnerable elders (PAVE clinic) within integrated patient aligned care teams (PACT) in Primary Care can be viewed here.
