The IMPACT Collaboratory: Pilot funding for pragmatic dementia research

Partha Bhattacharyya, Program Director, Division of Behavioral and Social Research Although clinical trials are vital for testing interventions to improve patient care, participating in traditional clinical trials is not always feasible for people living with dementia, nor their caregivers.
