The United Kingdom Clinical Pharmacy Association (UKCPA) & Pharmacy Research UK Clinical Pharmacy Research Grant is primarily aimed at pharmacists wishing to conduct clinical pharmacy research projects in the UK.
The focus of this grant has been to support pharmacy practitioners who wished to develop their research skills and in doing so build relationships with the academic community, attend formal training programmes and seek mentors.
