About IMPACT Grand Rounds
The IMPACT Collaboratory hosts free webinars on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 12 noon ET addressing issues conducting embedded pragmatic clinical trials on non-pharmacological interventions for people living with dementia and their care partners. If you are not yet on our mailing list, join here to receive IMPACT updates and reminders. Registration is not required.
The 2026 Dementia Care and Caregiving Research Summit will cover:
Economic impacts of dementia
Individual and community partnerships for people living with dementia
Dementia care and caregiving interventions: advancing rigorous intervention development
Dementia care models and care coordination strategies across systems and states
Advances in AD/ADRD data infrastructure to support dementia care and caregiving research
Sharing lived experiences from people living with dementia, care partners, and family and community members
In addition to the Summit itself, we will host a virtual Pre-Summit Listening Session.
Whether you're a care partner/caregiver, an interest holder, living with dementia yourself, or a passionate member of the dementia care and caregiving community, your insights are vital. Join the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging (NIA) for a FREE virtual Pre-Summit Listening Session to share your ideas for consideration at the 2026 Dementia Care and Caregiving Research Summit. Summit organizers are holding this event to ensure the agenda reflects our collective vision.
