Health Care Systems (HCS) Embedded Research Program – The HCS Scholars Program offers both junior and senior investigators an opportunity to work directly with health care systems interested in improving the care provided to people living with dementia (PLWD) and their care partners.Career Development Awards (CDA) Program – The CDA Program supports the development of early-stage MD, PhD, or equivalent researchers who seek careers conducting ePCTs for people living with AD/ADRD and their care partners.For more information on the Demonstration Project Grant Program and request for applications (RFAs), please visit. Demonstration Project Grant Program - Demonstration Projects are full-scale, Stage IV effectiveness ePCTs that are meant to generate evidence on effective care delivery practices for persons with dementia that can be expanded and/or implemented in other systems.For more information on the Pilot Grant Program and request for applications (RFAs), please visit. Pilot Grant Program – Pilot ePCTs test non-pharmacological interventions embedded in health care system(s) for people living with AD/ADRD and their care partners to generate the preliminary data necessary to design and conduct a future full-scale Stage IV effectiveness ePCTs funded through other grant activity codes.Research Support Pilot and Demonstration Project Grant Programs To learn more about the IMPACT Collaboratory, check out the IMPACT Funding, Training, and Engagement Opportunities Video. The governance structure also includes a Steering Committee, an External Advisory Panel, Administrative & Management Teams, and 10 Working Group Cores & Teams. The NIA Program Officer is Partha Bhattacharyya, PhD, and the NIA Project Scientists are Lisa Onken, PhD and Marcel Salive, MD, MPH.

The IMPACT Collaboratory is a cooperative agreement between the NIA and the grantees institutions. Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School Senior Scientist at Hebrew SeniorLife's Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute for Aging Research.Susan Mitchell, MD, MPH – Principal Investigator.Florence Pierce Grant University Professor and Professor of Health Services, Policy and Practice at the Brown University School of Public Health.Vincent Mor, PhD - Principal Investigator.The IMPACT Collaboratory is jointly led by: The IMPACT Collaboratory actively develops and disseminates knowledge, promotes research development, builds investigator capacity, and engages stakeholders to establish and strengthen an infrastructure to improve the health of persons living with dementia and their care partners. The IMPACT Collaboratory’s mission is to build the nation’s capacity to conduct pragmatic clinical trials (ePCTs) of interventions embedded within health care systems for PLWD and their care partners. The NIA AD/ADRD Health Care Systems Research Collaboratory, established as the National Institute on Aging (NIA) Imbedded Pragmatic Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-Related Dementias (AD/ADRD) Clinical Trials (IMPACT) Collaboratory in fall 2019, serves as a national resource to improve the care and health outcomes of people living with dementia (PLWD) and their care partners in partnership with various health care systems.

Funding opportunities & applicant resources.This paper outlines some of the visualization research projects that were demonstrated at the iGrid 2005 workshop in San Diego, California.
DEFINE COLLABORATORY SOFTWARE
The goal is to enable the comprehensive and synergistic research and development of the necessary hardware, software and interaction techniques to realize the next generation of end-user tools for scientists to collaborate on the global Lambda Grid. The research outlined in this paper marks an initial global cooperative effort between visualization and collaboration researchers to build a persistent virtual visualization facility linked by ultra-high-speed optical networks.
