Upon completion of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Transmit knowledge about designing and conducting ePCTs among PLWD and care partners in health care systems that integrates considerations related to identifying PLWD and ascertaining pragmatic outcomes
- Problem-solve common challenges in designing and conducting ePCTs for PLWD and care partners
Apply the acquired knowledge to move their current and future research in ePCTs forward, including applying for competitive funding.
Eligibility Criteria:
- Applicants should have an MD, PhD, or equivalent research degree
- Hold a full-time position at an academic or research organization in the United States
- Early-stage investigators pursuing careers conducting ePCTs in AD/ADRD
- Mid-career investigators seeking to pursue research on ePCTs in AD/ADRD
Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
