After more than 5 years of service to ACCP and the ACCP Research Institute, Dr. Jacqueline Marinac has announced that she will be leaving her position as ACCP Director of Research at the end of 2012. During her tenure on the ACCP and Research Institute staff, she has led the development of the first national pharmacy practice-based research network (see http://www.accpri.org/pbrn/), established the Research Institute’s very successful Focused Investigator Training Program (described in detail at http://www.accpri.org/fit/), expanded the Research Institute staff, and transformed the Research Institute’s Web site and communications strategies.

With this strong foundation on which to build, a new Director of Research is being sought by the College to fill this position in early 2013. For more information, see the position announcement in the Professional Placement listings at the end of this issue of the ACCP Report, or review the position description at http://www.accp.com/careers/onlinePositionListings.aspx?mode=view&id=40689.
