All about GRASP
Graduate
Research Association of Students in Pharmacy (GRASP) is considered a non-profit
organization that is designed and implemented entirely by graduate students in
pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences in order to facilitate educational
development. This is achieved by providing an arena for open interchange of
scientific knowledge and ideas through poster and podium presentations. The
meeting also gives the opportunity for networking and mentoring amongst students
and faculty. In addition to these activities, career development workshops and
guest lectures are incorporated to meet the career needs of graduate students.
This conference, organized entirely by graduate students, provides an
opportunity for pharmacy graduate students from across the country to come share
their work, meet potential employers, and learn from the pioneers in the fields
of pharmacy and pharmaceutics. This event is also aimed at promoting networking
amongst the graduate students and giving them a chance to build valuable ties
with their peers.
GRASP is funded primarily by sponsor donations and a nominal registration fee
paid by student and faculty attendees. Contributors to previous GRASP symposia
included major pharmaceutical companies, niche manufacturers, and generic
houses.
