The Clinical Research Program (CRP) is Mass General's infrastructure for Clinical Investigators. It provides direct services to investigators for all types of clinical research (translational, trials and outcomes). The CRP also develops innovative tools to anticipate and enable future opportunities.

Within the CRP, the mission of the Clinical Research Program Education Unit (CREU) is to provide educational opportunities for Mass General clinical investigators and their study staff by offering courses and seminars that address their unique and rapidly changing educational needs.

Program for Clinical Investigators

The CREU Investigator Program is designed to target young clinical investigative faculty who need to learn the methods of clinical investigation, as well as more experienced investigators wanting to fill specific gaps in their knowledge.

Our goal is to address the most pressing educational needs of the individual clinical investigator by providing a broad offering of content-based courses that address: i) the principles of study design and analysis; ii) regulatory areas; iii) professional development  and iv) emerging and enabling technologies. To access these offerings, please visit: Clinical Investigator courses.

Program for Clinical Research Staff

The CREU provides support and educational programming for clinical research coordinators, research nurses, project managers and study staff. From orientation offerings to "hot topic" luncheons and in-depth seminar series, the curriculum for clinical research staff serves as a jumping-off point for many new members of the clinical research community. These courses also support the ongoing learning of more experienced clinical research personnel.  To access these offerings, please visit: Clinical Research Staff courses.
