Applications are now being accepted for the 2016–2017 Community Advisory Panel (CAP) of the ACCP Practice-Based Research Network (PBRN). The CAP functions as an expert review panel for proposals received by the ACCP PBRN to determine the feasibility and practicality of proposed research projects. This standing committee to the ACCP PBRN, composed of a balance of generalists and specialists in a mixture of practice settings (e.g., outpatient clinics and inpatient services), represents the breadth and scope of the PBRN membership. The CAP consists of up to 10 members, each of whom may serve a 3-year term. All members of the panel belong to the ACCP PBRN and are unpaid volunteers. Eligible candidates must meet the following requirements:

• Be a full or associate member of ACCP
• Be a member of the ACCP PBRN
• Have worked a minimum of 5 years as a clinical practitioner after training

Candidates with prior investigator-initiated studies, experience in soliciting funds from external sources, or PBRN research experience will be given preference when comparing otherwise equally matched candidates. Current members of the Research Institute Board of Trustees, ACCP Board of Regents, and Pharmacotherapy Board of Directors are NOT eligible.

To submit your application, please e-mail your CV/biosketch and a statement of interest (500 words or less) to [email protected] by Thursday, June 30, 2016. This year’s newly selected members will begin their terms at the 2016 ACCP Annual Meeting in Hollywood, Florida, October 23–26, 2016.
