The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will be hosting an interactive discussion focusing on the national Palliative Care Research Cooperative (PCRC) on October 7, 2015 from 8:30-11:30 am at the NIH Bethesda Campus. The meeting will assemble leaders across palliative care, hospice and end-of-life science to interact with us on priorities for palliative/end-of-life research, opportunities for scalable multisite trials, and how the PCRC might be utilized to address major research gaps and questions of national importance in end-of-life, hospice and palliative care.

Presentations will include an overview of the PCRC infrastructure, mission, and goals by the PCRC leadership (Dr. Amy Abernethy, Dr. Jean Kutner, Dr. Christine Ritchie, Dr. Betty Ferrell, Dr. Arif Kamal and others) as well as current examples of PCRC research capacity in areas such as: large-scale RCT and pragmatic trials; common-data analytics-technology development and informatics; health systems research; and, cross-cultural health disparity initiatives. The meeting will include invited collaborators from across NIH Institutes, Centers and Offices as well as HHS federal agencies and private organizations in an effort to collectively share information on the PCRC, its resources, and future initiatives. At this time, over 45 leading researchers in palliative care, hospice, and end-of-life science from the PCRC will also attend.
