Clinical Research Learning Institute (CRLI)
About
The ALS Clinical Research Learning Institute (CRLI), sponsored by The ALS Association, is an annual two-day program dedicated to educating attendees on clinical research and therapy development and empowering this group to be advocates for ALS clinical research. Becoming an ALS Research Ambassador provides individuals with ALS, and their families, a new way to join the fight to find a cure for ALS.
