FTD CRLI Ambassador Program
The frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) Clinical Research Learning Institute Ambassador Program is hosted by the Penn FTD Center in partnership with The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD).
The FTD Clinical Research Learning Institute empowers individuals diagnosed with FTD, their caregivers and loved ones to be strong advocates in the field of FTD research by educating them on the clinical research process. Certification as an FTD Research Ambassador provides opportunities to influence and improve the FTD research process. Research Ambassadors will also be able to share information about the research process, and address common misconceptions about research, to patients and caregivers through support groups, conferences, social media, and other platforms. The virtual program will take place over two days on June 16th and June 17th, 2026 in four-hour sessions each day. There is no cost for this program.
