Clinical Research Masters Program (CRMP)

Formerly called the K30 program, the CRMP at the University of Michigan is a 2-year program with a specialized curriculum that trains healthcare professionals for academic careers in clinical research and lead to a Master of Science degree in Clinical Research Design and Statistical Analysis from the Rackham School of Graduate Studies.

The CRMP is University-wide and based in the Michigan Institute for Clinical and Health Research (MICHR). The program has been in existence for 9 years as one of 59 K30 programs supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) across the country. The program was recently incorporated into MICHR as part of the newly established Clinical Translational Science Awards (CTSA).

The CRMP provides opportunities for education in clinical research design and hands- on clinical research under the guidance of an individual scientific advisory committee. Through this program, trainees acquire biostatistical skills and knowledge in specific areas of clinical research (drug development and clinical trials, health services research and translational research); learn how to properly design a clinical research study, follow requirements for human subject protection, and ethical principles and research integrity essential for the conduct of human subject research. Trainees also gain experience in the preparation of well thought-out grant applications and how to navigate the research funding options. The program strongly emphasizes mentoring and guidance in career development.
