The NIH Health Care Systems Research Collaboratory is launching a special workshop series on its popular Grand Rounds program to explore the inclusion of diverse participants in pragmatic clinical trials. This series will include topics on increasing engagement of diverse participants and building trust, including diverse sites, learning from implementation science to maximize diversity, and developing a pipeline of trainees from underrepresented groups to be leaders in pragmatic clinical research.

The webinar series will kick off on Friday, May 14, at 1 p.m. ET with a keynote presentation by Dr. Clyde Yancy, Vice Dean of Diversity and Inclusion and Chief of Cardiology in the Department of Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
