The ACCP Foundation was originally founded in 1981 as the ACCP Research Institute. Its role as the philanthropic arm of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) has since transformed, expanding its focus beyond research alone to fully reflect ACCP’s mission and the interests of today’s members. In doing so, the Foundation has established itself as the leading charitable organization committed to advancing clinical pharmacy research, scholarship, and practice—and ultimately, bettering human health.
Your support today will amplify our shared commitment to improving patient outcomes.
Establishing our Roots
Our long history of success, first as the Research Institute and now as the Foundation, in developing competitive researchers and scholars is evidenced by our record of funding research grants, research fellowships, and investigator training programs.
One of the few early sources supporting research fellowship training and clinical research, the Foundation now offers a prudent cohort of researcher development programs:
In addition to training and funding researchers, the Foundation provides a home for both pharmacotherapeutic and clinical pharmacy practice scholarship in the two official journals of ACCP.
Funding and training researchers and scholars at all stages of professional development remains a Foundation priority—one that requires continual financial support.
Embracing our Mission
The Foundation aims to nurture the full spectrum of today’s ACCP membership, which includes practitioners, educators, trainees, and students, in addition to researchers and scholars.
Our goal to increase annual giving calls for renewed generosity from you, our members, who understand how vital clinical pharmacy is to patient outcomes. Scaling up our programs is essential to supporting ACCP’s mission to enhance patient care. But we cannot do it without your help.
Your investment in today’s clinical pharmacy professionals—directly supporting excellence in research, practice, and education—generates long-term benefits for patients and society at large.
As we build innovative, sustainable, and cutting-edge programs to advance patient care, we invite you to make a gift to the Foundation at a level that is comfortable for you. Only with our collective commitment will we accomplish significant progress towards improving human health.
