The National Institute on Aging recently funded the $15.6 million NEXT STEPs (Nursing home EXplanatory clinical Trials: Supporting Transformation by Enhancing Partnerships) initiative to create the organizational structure, processes, and procedures to develop a sustainable, diverse network of nursing home (NH) partners and researchers conducting clinical trials designed to guide optimal care. This presentation will describe the evidence that supported the key elements and highlight the opportunities available for researchers, providers, and advocates to participate in the NEXT STEPS initiative. Learning Objectives: (1) identify high priority gaps and promote scalable best practices in quality of clinical care in nursing homes that can be addressed through research; (2) describe the resources of the Long Term Data Cooperative; (3) describe specific opportunities to engage in clinical research in nursing homes; (4) list benefits to participation in a nursing home research network.
