The NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory is pleased to announce a new training workshop now available on the ePCT Training Workshop webpage.

On December 13, 2021 The NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory and the NIA IMPACT Collaboratory co-hosted a Pre-Conference Workshop “Convergence of Dissemination & Implementation Research Methods and Embedded Pragmatic Trials” for Academy Health’s Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation in Health Conference (D&I).

This training workshop introduces concepts in the design, conduct, and implementation of embedded pragmatic clinical trials (ePCTs), with a particular focus on the intersection between ePCTs and implementation research methods. The workshop provides an introduction to the investigative opportunities for embedded health systems research, along with strategies for integrating implementation research methods in the design and conduct of ePCTs with the goal of providing real-world evidence necessary to inform both practice and policy. Firsthand ePCT experiences and case studies from the NIH Health Care Systems Research Collaboratory and the NIA IMPACT ADRD Collaboratory support and illustrate the topics presented.
