Coming in 2020, the NIH Collaboratory will host a 5-part Grand Rounds Series focused on the Living Textbook. The series will feature Collaboratory expert speakers guiding the audience through the life cycle of an ePCT by way of the textbook—from idea to funding to implementation.
The series begins January 31 with “Pragmatic Clinical Trials: How Do I Start?” and will end June 19 with “Demystifying Biostatistical Concepts for Embedded Pragmatic Clinical Trials.”
See below for the full schedule of sessions and a special message from Dr. Kevin Weinfurt.
