FTD CRLI Ambassador Program
FTD Clinical Research Learning Institute Ambassador Program hosted by the Penn FTD Center in partnership with The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration.
The FTD Clinical Research Learning Institute is a one-day virtual program that 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. There is no cost for this program.
​
Applications for the 2025 FTD Clinical Research Learning Institute will be open January 10th - February 7th, 2025. Selected applications will be emailed their acceptance in late spring and asked to participate in a virtual program on June 17th, 2025.
