APhA Foundation Incentive Grants – The APhA Foundation recently announced that groundbreaking patient care services are the focus of the 2016 APhA Foundation Incentive Grants. The Incentive Grants program provides pharmacists with seed money to implement or support innovative patient care services within their pharmacy practice. This year, the APhA Foundation sought to use grants to make an impact in many areas including metabolic syndrome, diabetes care, pharmacogenomics, medication adherence, specialty medications and transitions of care. CPF has been a longstanding supporter of the Incentive Grants program by providing matching grant funds for community pharmacy residents.
