I look forward to next week’s NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory virtual 2-day workshop: “Going From Zero to 100: Generating Evidence Through Pragmatic Research To Address Pressing Healthcare Issues,” taking place on July 15 and 16. 

I am thrilled that the director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Monica M. Bertagnolli, M.D., will deliver the workshop’s keynote address, speaking on a topic she is passionate about: bringing the benefits of medical research to the people who need it the most. She will talk about an exciting new NIH initiative, Communities Advancing Research Equity for Health™ (CARE for Health™), which I am pleased to co-chair with Joni Rutter, Ph.D., director of the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, and Debara Tucci, M.D., M.S., M.B.A., director of the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders.
