High Risk Populations Core
Team Activities
The High-Risk Populations Core (HRPC) advises and guides investigators about how considerations related to high-risk, high-need populations are integrated across the IMPACT Collaboratory. Its goal is to ensure that the design and conduct of embedded pragmatic clinical trials (epCTs) are grounded in best practices and meaningfully address the needs of both settings of care and individuals living with dementia and their care partners who face the greatest barriers to high-quality and accessible care.
Working closely with the Research Grants and Training Cores, the HRPC strengthens investigator capacity to design and conduct ePCTs for those at highest risk for adverse outcomes and reduced access to care. The Core also develops and disseminates knowledge to advance best practices and methodologies for addressing the needs of high-risk populations and settings of care in the design and conduct of ePCTs.
Members of the Core are integrated throughout the Collaboratory’s scientific cores, launchpads, and Leadership Team, working with Cores and teams across the Collaboratory to ensure strategic, coordinated, and measurable actions that directly support IMPACT’s mission through its four Aims.
