Thank you for your interest in the ALS Clinical Research Learning Institute® (CRLI).

Certification as an ALS Research Ambassador® provides opportunities to influence and improve the ALS research process.

The 2023 NEALS CRLI will take place October 3 - 4, 2023 in Clearwater Beach, Florida. People living with ALS, caregivers, and family members residing in North America who have not attended a previous CRLI are encouraged to apply.
