  Excipients Focus Group

The mission of the Excipients Focus Group is to promote understanding of excipients and their use in pharmaceutical formulations.  This includes understanding of excipient quality, functionality, drug-excipient interactions and regulatory considerations.  To fulfill this mission, the Excipients Focus Group will develop its own relevant programming and publications as well as influence the content of AAPS Annual Meeting and National Biotechnology Conference.


The Ralph Shangraw Memorial Award
The Ralph Shangraw Memorial Award is awarded to any person who has provided an outstanding research in the study of excipients or excipient-related technology. The award recognizes research achievements broadly in the field of pharmaceutical excipients including but not limited to research that contributes to an understanding of the basic science underlying excipients functionally; excipient safety, including the development of test methods and standards; the development of new excipients or novel use of existing in new applications; and the development of rational compendial/regulatory standards for excipients. The award recipients will receive $10,000.

IPEC Foundation Graduate Student Awards
The IPEC Foundation is sponsoring five annual awards to acknowledge excellence in research conducted at graduate level pertaining to the field of excipients. The awards focus on recent significant contributions to formulation science and technology with excipients brought about by highly innovative research. All interested candidates engaged in their final year of graduate studies leading to Ph.D. degree (or to be awarded in the year of submission) are encouraged to apply. The awardees will receive a cash award of $1,000 and a commemorative plaque. If selected, the applicant must attend the 2009 AAPS Annual Meeting & Exposition.
