  • The research should describe a rigorous evaluation of a well-designed patient care intervention or practice-based initiative
  • The research is original and innovative while being founded in existing literature and/or theory
  • The research has had or is likely to have a significant impact on practice, the profession, or medication use

Selection process

The selection of the recipient is made by the APhA-APRS Awards Committee.
