In the last three years, the PhRMA Foundation has supported eleven promising adherence researchers who share the goal of finding large scale approaches to improve medication adherence. To be considered for an award, applications undergo a rigorous peer review process in which each is scored and ranked by a panel of seasoned academic researchers.
Be sure to follow the Ask About Adherence blog series in the coming weeks to learn more about the grantees and their research.
