We are excited to offer the NEXT STEPs Research Studios program! Currently, we have a few available appointments. Please sign up using the link below! We will be accepting requests for the third round of research studios in 2026. The openings are:
- July 15: 12:00-1:30 ET/ 10:00-12:00 MT
Each research studio is customized to the needs of the investigator and includes a focused 30-minute discussion with 2–4 experienced investigators. Investigators will be asked to submit a draft specific aims page and other relevant materials prior to the discussion. These sessions will address specific questions regarding the conduct of nursing home clinical research. Following the session, investigators will receive a summary report and digital recording.
The Research Studios are designed to enhance the quality of nursing home clinical trials through structured, interactive discussions that foster collaboration and engagement. We encourage participation from researchers who are developing a research proposal focused on the nursing home setting and would benefit from expert support in refining and advancing it toward implementation.
