Incentive Grant Program
The Pharmacy Education Foundation (PEF) awards up to two (2) $1,000 grants each year. The Incentive Grant provides seed money to help pharmacists in all practice settings explore new methods and services that enhance their role as pharmaceutical care providers, and to encourage them to share their experiences with other pharmacists. The incentive grants program was established in 1999 by the Indiana Academy of Community Pharmacists (IACP), an academy of the Indiana Pharmacists Alliance.  This grant program is intended to focus on the need to re-engineer their practices along lines that incorporate more specific patient-centered services.
