Project

The proposed project, NEXT STEPs (Nursing Home Explanatory Clinical Trials: Supporting Transformation by Enhancing Partnerships) Network, creates a national infrastructure that will address systemic barriers to conducting research in nursing homes (NHs). NHs care for people with serious, complex medical illnesses and are a critical site of care for people with Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD). The proposed infrastructure is needed to identify and overcome the multiple challenges to conducting research in this setting of care, which include navigating regulatory and recruitment challenges for people with ADRD.
