Clinical Research Monitoring Program (CRMP)
An applied monitoring competency program for experienced site professionals.
You already know how a site runs. Monitoring asks for a different set of judgments: what to review, what matters most, what counts as a finding, when to escalate, and how to document the follow-up. CRMP is where you practice those judgments on a real-shaped study and have the work reviewed by a person.
Who CRMP is for
CRMP is an applied monitoring competency program for professionals who already understand how a site runs and now need to build monitoring judgment, execution, documentation, escalation and oversight capability.
This is a standalone program. CRMP is a standalone program. It is not a second phase of the Clinical Research Entry Program and completing that program is not a requirement. Experienced site professionals apply directly. Entry is decided by application review of your readiness for monitoring work, not by a fixed number of years. We look at what you have actually done at a site or in a study team.
The gap
At a site you ask what has to happen for this participant today. Monitoring asks whether the record proves what happened, and whether the study can rely on it.
Monitoring is prioritization. You decide where risk actually sits, what gets verified line by line, and what only gets read for quality.
An observation is not a finding. A finding is written so a sponsor, an auditor and the next monitor read it the same way, with a cause, an owner and a date.
Knowing an issue is real is the easy part. Knowing when it stops being a site conversation and becomes a sponsor one is the part employers are hiring for.

You can enroll in the program. You cannot purchase a verified competency.
One study, all the way through
You meet the study in Week 0 and stay with it to the end. You qualify a site, prepare and work a visit, review the source, the database, the regulatory file and product accountability, raise findings, write the report and the follow-up, and watch what happens when problems repeat. Because it is one study, your decisions carry consequences into the next week.
It is built for learning and assessment. It is recorded as simulated work and is never presented as employment experience.
The journey
Week 0 establishes where you actually stand. Weeks 1 to 5 each build one part of the monitoring role and end in a reviewed work sample. Week 6 is the final challenge.
Developmental evidence
Each task is scored against five criteria and returned with written feedback: what you did well, what needs correcting, why it matters, and what to practice next. You get one resubmission on each. These are developmental evidence. They are never marked Human Verified.
Week 1
Read the study monitoring plan and the site's history, then set out what this site's monitoring actually has to cover, where the risk sits, and what you would prioritize at the next contact.
Week 2
Work a qualification package for a candidate site and produce a go or no-go recommendation, with the activation conditions you would attach to it.
Week 3
Prepare and work an interim monitoring visit at the study site: set the agenda, review participant records, decide what to verify, and record what you reviewed and what you found.
Week 4
Turn what you found at the visit into a defensible set of findings, a monitoring visit report section, and a follow-up letter the site can actually act on.
Week 5
Work a site whose problems are recurring rather than isolated. Decide what is systemic, what needs a corrective action, and what has to be escalated, and say when and to whom.
The final challenge
A new site and study you have not seen before. You interpret the monitoring plan, prepare and prioritize a visit, review the participant records, source, database, regulatory file and product accountability, identify and classify findings, decide what to escalate, and produce the documentation. Then you explain your decisions to a reviewer.
Each of the eight monitoring domains is scored Not Yet Demonstrated, Developing or Demonstrated. A strong total never verifies every domain on its own. The overall standard is 13 of 16 points, with no critical domain scored Not Yet Demonstrated.
After you submit, you sit a 20 to 30 minutes conversation with a reviewer and explain your decisions.
Two different outcomes
A record that you took part, submitted the work and met the participation requirements. It says what you did, not how well you did it.
Marked at the level of a single competency domain, and only where your final challenge work and your defense support it under reviewer signoff. Some domains may be verified and others not.
Finishing the program earns a completion certificate. It does not by itself mean a competency is verified. A competency is marked Human Verified only where your final challenge work and your defense support it under human review.
What you leave with
Included
Access to BORAKA Competency Labs from your cohort start day, so you can keep practicing monitoring judgment after the program ends.
The readiness review can recommend an independent search, more time in Competency Labs, an adjacent role, or optional Career Services. It never pushes you into a paid service by default.
Career and job search execution, including managed applications, reverse recruiting, recruiter outreach, job by job resume tailoring and unlimited interview coaching, is not included in CRMP and remains a separate optional Career Service.
Time commitment

Early bird applies while places remain in the early group and only up to the priority date on that cohort. A payment plan is three payments and then it stops. Winter 2026/27 keeps its protected price of $2,997, paid in full.
Application and review
01
A short application about your site or study experience and the monitoring work you are moving toward. You get a reference code straight away.
02
We read every application ourselves. The decision is about readiness for monitoring work, not a number of years.
03
You are accepted, waitlisted, asked for more information, or declined. Every decision comes with a reason.
04
Accepted applicants sign the enrollment agreement, then pay. Your workspace opens once we activate your place.
Applying is not an offer of a place, does not hold a seat, and costs nothing.
