November 2, 2023: NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory Launches New Online Training Resources

The NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory has launched an enhanced training section of rethinkingclinicialtrials.org that includes a new series of video learning modules and reorganized and refreshed pragmatic clinical trials training resources.

The new training section features a series of 8 self-paced, guided video modules on topics that cover every phase of a pragmatic clinical trial. The learning modules feature NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory experts and can be viewed as a series or individually, depending on the goals of the learner.

The revamped training section also includes a newly organized video library, a workshops page, and a resources page with a categorized index of the NIH Collaboratory’s handouts, guides, and worksheets. These new webpages allow learners to more easily find resources that match their interests through the addition of new filters, categories, and improved search functions.

“The NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory has a wealth of resources that are now easier and more engaging to use,” said Kevin Weinfurt, PhD, a co-principal investigator for the NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory Coordinating Center. “I look forward to seeing how learners engage with our enhanced content and hope that the resources inspire future pragmatic clinical trials.”

The NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory Coordinating Center led the training resource enhancements in partnership with Symphony Learning Partners. Additional learning tools will be available in the coming months.

“I’m excited for learners to experience our enhanced training offerings, which include a wealth of knowledge we’ve generated as a program,” said Tammy Reece, MS, PMP, CCRA, program director of the NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory Coordinating Center. “This is a unique online resource in the field of pragmatic research that will continue to expand.”
