Background: The National Institute on Aging (NIA) Imbedded Pragmatic Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Related Dementia (AD/ADRD) Clinical Trials (IMPACT) Collaboratory, in partnership with the Alzheimer's Association, convened a Lived Experience Panel (LEP), a group of 9-12 individuals, including people living with cognitive symptoms, proxies representing people with an advanced cognitive disorder or who are deceased, and care partners of a person living with dementia. The aim was for the LEP members to share their experiences with research, inform the development of research priorities, and provide input on conducting embedded pragmatic clinical trials (ePCTs) of dementia care interventions. Given the importance of providing a space for people with lived experiences to share their thoughts and recommendations, we continue to report on the final stage of LEP in its original design.

To enhance the effectiveness of these interventions, we have developed and incorporated personalisation approaches.
