CPF Partner Grants
CPF has termed a new grant designation as 'Partner Grants'. These more recently funded grants have developed with greater applicant collaboration in the project conceptualization and implementation phases. The process started with the Flip the Pharmacy program that was approved in May 2019 and launched in October 2019. Serendipitously, or rather synergistically, the ACT Pharmacy Collaborative launched in July 2019 at the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) meeting and was instrumental in connecting academia and Community Pharmacy Enhanced Services Networks (CPESN) pharmacies to expand awareness and strengthen the partnership of the teams and participating pharmacies. More recently, CPF has funded collaborative grants with PQA for enhanced community pharmacy measure assessment and AACP to support a larger vaccine confidence project.
