The Community Pharmacy Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of community pharmacy practice and patient care delivery through grant funding and resource sharing. Since 2002, CPF has awarded 191 grants and over $9,200,000 (US dollars) in research and project grants. The purpose of this manuscript is to highlight the evolution of pharmacy practice and pharmacy education in the United States through the presentation of exemplary cases of Community Pharmacy Foundation funding that is aligned with new care delivery models and approaches to the advancement of patient-centered pharmacy care. Pharmacy began in colonial America as the United States of America was just beginning to form with apothecary shops and druggists. Over time, the pharmacy industry would be revolutionized as America became urbanized, and drug products became commercially produced. The role of the pharmacist and their education evolved as direct patient care became a clear expectation of the general public. By the 1990s, the pharmacy profession had carved out a new path that focused on pharmacist-led, patient-centered pharmaceutical care and medication therapy management services. The Community Pharmacy Foundation grant funding has aligned with this evolution since its founding in 2000, and multiple exemplary grants are presented as support. As the role of pharmacists again transitions from a fee-for-service model to a value-based model, the Community Pharmacy Foundation continues to provide grant funding for research and projects that support the advancement of community pharmacy practice, education, and expanded training of pharmacists.
社区药房基金会是一个非营利组织，致力于通过拨款资助和资源共享来推动社区药房实践及患者护理服务。自2002年以来，CPF已授予191项拨款，总额超过920万美元用于研究和项目资助。本文的目的是通过展示社区药房基金会资助的典型案例，突出美国药房实践和药学教育的发展历程，这些案例与新的护理服务模式以及以患者为中心的药房护理推进方法相一致。在美国刚刚开始形成时，药房起源于殖民时期的美国，当时有药剂师店铺和药剂师。随着时间的推移，随着美国城市化以及药品商业化生产，制药行业发生了变革。随着直接的患者护理成为公众明确的期望，药剂师的角色及其教育也随之演变。到20世纪90年代，药学专业开辟了一条新道路，专注于药剂师主导、以患者为中心的药学护理和药物治疗管理服务。自2000年成立以来，社区药房基金会的拨款资助一直与这一发展历程相契合，并展示了多个典型拨款作为支撑。随着药剂师的角色再次从收费服务模式向基于价值的模式转变，社区药房基金会继续为支持社区药房实践、教育及药剂师扩展培训的研究和项目提供拨款资助。
