Longtime NIH Collaboratory researcher Dr. Vincent Mor will lead a study to identify adverse health impacts among elderly nursing home residents following COVID-19 vaccination. The study is supported by a supplemental award from the National Institute on Aging to the NIA IMPACT Collaboratory. It will be used to design an adverse event monitoring system in collaboration with Genesis HealthCare, a post-acute care provider organization with more than 350 facilities in 25 states.

Dr. Mor was a co–principal investigator of the Pragmatic Trial of Video Education in Nursing Homes (PROVEN), an NIH Collaboratory Trial. He also serves as a principal investigator of the IMPACT Collaboratory.

The NIA IMPACT Collaboratory is supported by a grant from the National Institute on Aging. Its mission is to advance care for persons with dementia and their caregivers in real-world settings by building national capacity to conduct pragmatic clinical trials that test interventions embedded in healthcare systems.
