Membership

The strength of the Center for Cannabis and Natural Product Pharmaceutics (CCNPP) is directly linked to bringing talented investigators from across the Penn State system. We encourage investigators interested in natural product pharmaceutics research collaborations to apply for the Penn State Center for Cannabis and Natural Product Pharmaceutics membership. Applicants must hold an appointment at Penn State, Penn State Health, a Penn State Medical Marijuana Academic Clinical Research Center (ACRC) partner or an affiliate institution.

Acceptance and/or approval of a membership application is determined by the leadership team.
