Trial Onboarding Meetings
When new NIH Collaboratory Trials join the program, they are introduced to the Coordinating Center and its services at an onboarding meeting. The purpose of the onboarding meetings is to welcome and learn about the new trials, provide an overview of the NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory, introduce investigators to the Core Working Groups, and engage in discussion. Materials from these meetings, including agendas and slides, are posted here for reference.
Featured Trials
CARNATION and EquiP PC
CARNATION and EquiP PC were welcomed into the NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory in October of 2025. Both UG3 trials are supported by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke through the Pragmatic and Implementation Studies for the Management of Pain to Reduce Opioid Prescribing (PRISM) program, a component of the Helping to End Addiction Long-Term Initiative℠, or NIH HEAL Initiative℠, to address the opioid crisis.
