Women in Government - Roundtable on Utilization of Adult Immunizations
February 15, 2017 - at the invitation of the Women in Government organization, APhA Chief Strategy Officer, Mitch Rothholz, was a speaker at their kickoff event in Atlanta, GA. He provided an overview of the impact pharmacists have had within the immunization neighborhood, challenges, opportunities and areas legislators could address to increase access and pharmacist engagement. Also presenting was Dr. Carolyn Bridges, CDC Director of Adult and Influenza Vaccination (and a past recipient of APhA’s Immunization Champion Friend of Pharmacy Award), and the Georgia State Department of Health Director of Immunization Services. Also present were pharmacists from Walgreens, Walmart and an independent pharmacy, and vaccine manufacturers, as well as representatives of medicine.

Congratulations Grantees!
Brian Isetts, PhD, BCPS | University of Minnesota College of Pharmacy
.jpg) In order to assess the degree to which grants fulfilled CPF's Major Goals, and to inform the Foundation’s awarding of future funding, the CPF collaborated with three University of Minnesota researchers (Brian Isetts, Anthony Olson, and Jon Schommer) to design an evaluation of strategic decisions, trends, and impact of CPF funding.
The evaluation described and compared the 107 grants completed in the Foundation’s ‘Initial Years’ (2002-2008) and ‘Recent Years’ (2009-2014) in terms of representativeness, scope, and impact. A poster was presented at APhA 2016 describing the full project scope, and per request of the Board, secondary analyses of the academic and practice principal investigators was conducted. The findings of the academic cohort was recently published in Innovations in pharmacy - An Evaluation of the Distribution, Scope, and Impact of Community Pharmacy Foundation Grants Completed by Academic Principal Investigators between 2002 and 2014. Analysis of the practice-based principal investigators is ongoing.
