The Clinical Research Methodology Curriculum (CRMC) is a one-year certificate program for experienced investigators seeking to obtain up-to-date knowledge in the field of clinical research. It is conducted at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to promote greater flexibility for trainees from across the CTSC partner institutes. The CRMC curriculum allows participants to either enroll in the entire program or audit specific components that address self-identified educational needs.
The Clinical Research Methodology Curriculum is currently accepting applications for the 2026-2027 academic year. The application deadline is Friday, August 21. Click to access Application Instructions: 2026-2027_crmc_request_letter_and_epar_instructions_.pdf
