The NCPDP Foundation is requesting grant proposals for the fall 2024 funding cycle. Proposals must be submitted by October 31, 2024.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The NCPDP Foundation continuously supports the programs, projects, and people that drive quality healthcare through the use of standards-based healthcare information technologies (HIT).
This fall, the Foundation is requesting grant proposals for a new funding cycle. The Foundation is particularly interested in funding projects that would show how current or future NCPDP standards support any of the following:
- Precision medicine and/or pharmacogenomics
- Digital therapeutics
- Social determinants of health
- Health equity
- HL7® Accelerator alignment
- Industry interoperability
- Pharmacist-supported clinical services
The Foundation will also consider proposals that broadly support standardization of the exchange of healthcare information or otherwise align with its mission, vision, and purpose.

Preference will be given to those who plan to publish the results of their work.
