Who Are Clinical Research Professionals?
Clinical Research Professionals (CRPs) are non-faculty staff working on studies that help with the planning, coordination and execution of clinical trials and other research studies aimed at evaluating the safety and efficacy of medical treatments, drugs, devices or interventions. CRPs may have backgrounds in nursing, pharmacy, medical technology, business administration, health record management, statistics, science, education or other areas. Specific duties and requirements for CRPs vary depending on the nature of the research being conducted. A common theme is their dedication and commitment to promoting excellence in clinical research.
