Donations to the Frontiers Fund will further advance the mission of the Research Institute to develop clinical pharmacists as investigators and demonstrate the value of clinical pharmacy as a profession.

In 2012, the ACCP PBRN will embark on a major initiative, the Value of Clinical Pharmacists initiative. The ACCP PBRN has been charged with creating a plan to document the value of clinical pharmacists, the topic that consistently ranks as the No. 1 priority of the ACCP membership. The time to show your support for this effort is now. Your tax-deductible gifts make the important work of the ACCP Research Institute possible. Donate online at www.accpri.org.
