Robert P. Fischelis, Executive Secretary of the APhA, at his desk in the late 1940s.

The American Institute for the History of Pharmacy is now accepting nominations for the AIHP Robert P. Fischelis Award.

The AIHP Robert P. Fischelis Award is conferred annually by AIHP’s Board of Directors to a person or organization whose work and actions have made significant and important contributions to the field of the history of pharmacy and medicines and to the mission or organizational well-being of the Institute.

The deadline for receipt of nominations is May 16, 2025.

What distinguishes the Fischelis Award from other AIHP awards is its focus on extraordinary contributions to both the field of pharmacy history and the Institute.

The award is given in honor of the late Robert P. Fischelis, a gifted leader of the pharmacy profession and a generous benefactor of the Institute. Nominations for the award are invited annually, the Board of Directors reveiws nominations and determines whether to confer the award.
