Grant awarded to K Scholar, Pilot Studies investigators

David M. Jacobs, PharmD, PhD, a UB Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) K Scholar alumnus and 2021 CTSI Pilot Study Principal Investigator, and Christopher J. Daly, PharmD, MBA, a 2021 CTSI Pilot Study Co-investigator, have received funding from the Community Pharmacy Foundation (CPF).

As shared in a School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences feature, the CPF is an organization advancing pharmacy practice and patient care delivery through grant funding and resource sharing, to study national best practices for partnerships between payors and clinically integrated networks of community pharmacies to advance patient care program implementation and evaluation.

In addition to the CPF funding, Jacobs and Daly are partnering with the Academia-CPESN Transformation Pharmacy Collaborative, an operational learning and acting collaborative between schools of pharmacy and established clinically integrated networks of community-based pharmacies, to help secure CPF grants to promote novel community pharmacy initiatives at pharmacy schools across the country.
