Abstracts / Research in Social and Administrative Pharmacy 10 (2014) e65–e74 Description of Workshop Activities. This workshop includes didactic presentations, small group case studies as interactive exercises, large group discussion, and selfassessment in the following structure: Brief introduction and icebreaker exercise (5 minutes). Pre-test self-assessment (5 minutes). Short didactic presentations (Objectives 1 and 2; 20 minutes). Small group case studies with facilitation (Objective 3; 20 minutes). One case study will pertain to strategies for effective pharmacy-based mental health educational programs; and the other will focus on how to implement and disseminate new services for people with lived experience of a mental illness. Large group discussion regarding case studies (Objective 3; 10 minutes). Short didactic presentations (Objectives 4 and 5; 20 minutes). Final discussion and closing remarks (5 minutes). Post-test self-assessment (5 minutes). Additional Information (if required): Establishment of an international pharmacist mental health knowledge translation network to foster collaboration and experiential exchanges in all aspects of mental health education, practice, and research will be discussed.

research is a small component of health services research overall and as such, pharmacy practice researchers need to be aware of how funding applications are assessed and how best to position their research applications to maximise success. Aims of the Workshop. The aim of this workshop is to describe and discuss the development and drafting of a research funding application, highlighting good practice, common pitfalls and signposting to further support resources. The workshop will focus upon the development of a project grant (drawing together a multidisciplinary team). Learning outcomes: At the end of the session workshop participants will be able to: Define the core elements of a research funding application and the expectations of funding bodies for each of these elements Describe the different types of funding/funders and their different requirements/expectations Describe common pitfalls in developing and drafting a funding application Identify appropriate support resources to further develop a funding application. Description of Workshop Activities. The workshop will comprise brief, didactic presentations from the workshop leaders followed by discussion and small group working to facilitate shared learning. Participants will be encouraged to share their experiences and concerns regarding obtaining research funding and to generate solutions to problems identified. Additional Information. Participation at this workshop requires no previous experience of submitting research funding applications. The workshop will be suitable for novice and experienced researchers. Participants would be asked to familiarise themselves and be prepared to discuss the different sources of funding that they are aware of to which they can apply and their experience of seeking funding, good and bad. What the journals need: getting educational research published C. Anderson1, J. Marriott2, 1School of Pharmacy, University of Nottingham, UK, 2Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Monash University, Australia There is a need to publish and share new ideas and to evaluate educational innovations. This workshop will give you practical tips about doing educational research and getting it published. It will be led by the International associate editor of American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education and the associate editor of Pharmacy Education. Objectives of the workshop: To explore different methods of evaluating educational research To identify the factors involved in planning a publication strategy To understand editorial decisions in considering papers for review To discuss what reviewers are looking for To analyse the peer review process and deal professionally with reviewers comments To give participants help in producing a good review. Description of Workshop: The workshop will allow participants to discuss evaluations that they are planning and to consider the best methods to use. We will also
