Background
Founded in 1990, the Tennessee Pharmacists Research and Education Foundation (TPREF) exists to advance the practice of pharmacy through research and education. Through the Tennessee Pharmacists Research and Education Foundation (TPREF), pharmacists and pharmacy professionals have been afforded many opportunities to create, innovate, and advance pharmacy practice through patient-focused grants and educational programs. TPREF currently administers more than $1 million in grants and programs solely focused on improving patient outcomes and advancing pharmacy practice. TPREF is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt research and educational organization and a direct subsidiary of TPA.

The organization's goal is to improve the standard of care for pharmacist-provided patient care through grants, research activities, and educational programs.
