Objectives: The aim of this article is to highlight the need for the development of pharmacy practice-based research networks (PBRNs).

Key Findings: Large multicenter research projects that provide evidence for the provision of patient care services by pharmacists are required, which can be facilitated by pharmacy PBRNs.

Conclusions: There is a growing need for pharmacy PBRNs, and the time is appropriate for pharmacists around the world to engage in the development of pharmacy PBRNs.
