FIP Foundation and ECPG Innovation Research Grant
Applications for the 2025 grant are closed.
The Foundation, together with the FIP ECPG, awards a grant of EUR 1,000 for the implementation of a project by an ECPG member. The grant serves to encourage innovation in pharmacy by an early-career pharmacist or pharmaceutical scientist who has limited resources for their own research. Projects can stem from any field of pharmacy (practice, science, or education) but must focus on innovation that improves the practice of pharmacy or the advancement of pharmaceutical science with direct clinical application.
