The IDEA Faculty Scholars program concluded in February 2025, so we are taking this opportunity to check back in with the participants. This program, launched by Dr. Ashim Malhotra in coordination with ASPET’s Director of Education Catherine Fry, PhD, was created as a multi-module program to incorporate the principles of IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility) into pharmacology education and training. Thirteen ASPET members were selected through a competitive application process and began their training in the fall of 2024. The program consisted of a series of four workshops.
It is our honor to announce this distinguished group for the 2026 Scientific Achievement Award, Division-Sponsored Awards, and Journal Award winners who are being recognized for their excellence in the pharmacology field.
