December 13, 2021: The NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory and the NIA IMPACT Collaboratory co-hosted a Pre-Conference Workshop for AcademyHealth’s Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination & Implementation (D&I) in Health. This training workshop introduced 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 provided 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 supported and illustrated the topics presented.
