Apply Now For the 2009 CRLI
Wednesday July 1, 2009
The Parkinson’s Disease Foundation (PDF) is now accepting applications for 2009 Clinical Research Learning Institute (CRLI) to be held October 15th through October 17th. In this blog and this website I have urged people with Parkinson's disease to consider participating in research on PD, particularly clinical trials of new treatments. This multi-day training provides people with Parkinson’s disease with all they need to know to both participated wisely and to advocate for more and better research on PD. The program also teaches people with PD how to serve as representatives on Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) and Data Safety Monitoring Boards (DSMBs); that are integral to clinical trials. This year’s CRLI will be held at the Hamilton Park Hotel & Conference Center in Florham Park, NJ and is free of charge, with PDF also assuming the costs for participant travel and accommodations. An application can downloaded from the PDF website at http://pdf.org/en/crli. The deadline for applying is July 17, 2009.
