Your donation to the Frontiers Fund campaign will help support the creation of the first national clinical pharmacy PBRN. According to Barry Carter, ACCP Past President and NIH-funded PBRN researcher, “Many leaders in pharmacy have been suggesting that a PBRN will be very important to link clinical pharmacy services. This initiative is extremely important and will allow ACCP to help lead multicenter studies of sufficient size to provide proper study design to impact clinical care and public health.”

The financial support needed to operate a PBRN is great. Although cost estimates vary based on the structure and complexity of each PBRN, using 2003 cost estimates, the projected annual cost of PBRN infrastructure ranges from $69,700 to $287,600 per year for a moderately complex network. The Research Institute needs your financial support to bring the ACCP PBRN to its members. Invest in the future of clinical pharmacy research. Make a donation today at www.accpri.org. Together, we can “go forward.”
