Certified Research Specialist Program

The Certified Research Specialist Program provides essential training in key areas for individuals involved in, or interested in learning more about, research at UAMS.

Certified Research Specialists complete 28 hours of coursework and pass a comprehensive Certified Research Specialist Proficiency Exam.

There is no charge for participating in the program.

We present new Certified Research Specialists with their formal certificates at the annual Certified Research Specialist Awards Ceremony each January.
