Logo for AcademyHealthThe NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory is partnering with AcademyHealth to offer a 1.5-day preconference workshop at the 2023 Annual Research Meeting in Seattle, Washington.

The workshop, “Driving Tomorrow’s Outcomes Through Clinical Research in Real-World Settings,” will cover the essentials of embedded healthcare systems research, along with strategies for conducting clinical trials that provide real-world evidence necessary to inform both practice and policy. Attendees will participate in facilitated, hands-on learning activities and interact with principal investigators of pragmatic clinical trials embedded in healthcare systems, including NIH Collaboratory Trials.

Firsthand experiences and case studies from the NIH Collaboratory will support and illustrate the topics presented and demonstrate how pragmatic trials embedded in real-world settings are driving tomorrow’s outcomes. Speakers will include program officers and senior staff from NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices and senior investigators from the NIH Collaboratory Trials and the Coordinating Center leadership.

The learning objectives of the workshop include:

  • To clarify the definition of embedded pragmatic clinical trials and explain their utility.
  • To introduce attendees to the unique characteristics and challenges of designing, conducting, and implementing these trials within diverse healthcare systems.
  • To increase the capacity of health services researchers to address important clinical questions with pragmatic trials in real-world settings, driving tomorrow’s research outcomes.
