Our parent organization, AAPP, is investing in an aggressive 2+ year, multi-step, multi-faceted AAPP Outcomes Initiative intended to generate strong research outcomes attributable to psychiatric pharmacists. AAPP has pledged up to $500,000 to the AAPP Foundation to directly support up to two multi-site studies with the goal to generate high-quality large sample size (n) data sets that evaluate the impact of integrating psychiatric pharmacists into team-based mental health care in studies with multiple research sites and investigators. In 2024, your association and the AAPP Foundation are taking a really big swing in supporting the advancement of the psychiatric pharmacy profession. We ask you to support this effort with your year-end donations as we seek to raise $75,000 by the end of 2023. Read more.
