Description:

Medication adherence is defined as the extent to which a patient acts in accordance with the prescribed interval and dose of a treatment regimen. Extensive evidence shows that medication adherence can yield better clinical and economic outcomes. However, many individuals do not take their medications as recommended. Closing the adherence gap is important to improving the quality of health care, encouraging better chronic care management, and promoting better outcomes. The purpose of the PhRMA Foundation Young Investigator Grant Program is to encourage research aimed at improving adherence by providing financial support to promising researchers.

The fellowship will be awarded to candidates who establish a sound and innovative research agenda focused on the goal of improved medication adherence. Relevant research goals may include the development or evaluation of policies, interventions, or tools that are potentially successful in improving medication adherence. We are currently offering three types of awards to be granted for one year:

· Pre-doctoral fellowship award of $25,000 (view details)

· Post-doctoral fellowship award of $50,000 (view details)

· Research starter grants of $50,000 (view details)
