Clinical Research Professionals (CRPs) are the non-faculty professionals essential for the entire lifecycle of clinical and translational research studies, from activation to accrual to ongoing conduct to completion. The goal of the CRP Workforce Development program is to create, maintain, sustain, and retain a research workforce that is not only competent and efficient but also serve as role models in clinical research best practices.
