Empowering U.S. Nursing Home Partners to Engage in Person-Centered Research
Upcoming event:
Pennsylvania Nursing Home Leadership Meeting
Engaging in Person-Centered Research to Improve Quality of Care in Nursing Homes
Valley View Retirement Community Chapel
April 15, 2026, 9:30 a.m.–2:00 p.m.
Purpose:
This national initiative, led by Penn State University in partnership with AgingIN, seeks to empower nursing home residents, families, staff, leaders, researchers, advocates and policy makers, to meaningfully engage in patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research. By building knowledge, networks, and tools, we aim to strengthen nursing home communities’ capacity to collaborate in research (CER) — where it is urgently needed but rarely conducted.
Impact:
Through a community advisory board, stakeholder training, and a growing national network, this project co-creates a sustainable solution to ensure the voices of nursing home partners guide the future of research, care, and policy. Together, we are laying the groundwork for more inclusive, equitable, and evidence-informed skilled nursing care.
