Take the Next Step in Your Career: Become a Clinical Researcher
A NHHRI-sponsored training opportunity for nurses, physicians, pharmacists, and other licensed clinicians
Turn Your Clinical Experience Into New Opportunity
As part of NHHRI's commitment to strengthening the healthcare workforce, we're offering this sponsored opportunity exclusively to clinicians within our partner network.
The Research-Ready Clinician Program is developed by ACHIEVE Clinical Expertise, Inc. through NexCT, powered by ACHIEVE and S-3 Research. The program includes ICH E6 Good Clinical Practice Investigator Site Training. This training meets the Minimum Criteria for ICH GCP Investigator Site Personnel Training identified by TransCelerate BioPharma, as necessary to enable mutual recognition of GCP training among trial sponsors.
This fully sponsored program is a benefit available to NHHRI partner members and is designed for licensed clinicians who want to explore clinical research as a career pathway, deepen their education, and earn recognition as research-ready professionals.
No prior clinical research experience is required.
Only 60 clinicians will be selected for this inaugural sponsored cohort.
Create a New Career Path Without Leaving Clinical Care Behind
Clinical research can open the door to roles and experiences that complement your existing clinical background.
For some clinicians, it may become a new area of specialization. For others, it may offer an opportunity to contribute to research while continuing to serve patients in their current setting.
This program is designed to help clinicians:
Build foundational research knowledge
Strengthen professional credentials
Explore clinical research career pathways
Increase visibility for specialized skills
Participate in evidence-based healthcare initiatives
Bring research opportunities closer to the communities they serve
Elevate Education, Credentials, and Professional Recognition
Healthcare professionals invest years in developing clinical expertise, but many have limited access to formal pathways into research.
This program helps close that gap.
By combining structured education with a recognized credential, the program creates a clearer process for clinicians to demonstrate research readiness and be considered for future opportunities.
The goal is not only to provide training, but also to help clinicians gain greater recognition for the experience, knowledge, and leadership they already bring to healthcare.
Help Expand Access to Clinical Research
Clinical research has traditionally been concentrated in large academic institutions and major medical centers.
That can leave many communities without meaningful access to research participation, innovative treatments, and clinical trials.
Clinicians who already serve these communities are in a powerful position to help change that.
By preparing more nurses, physicians, pharmacists, and other licensed professionals to participate in research, this program supports a broader and more inclusive clinical research workforce.
Who Should Apply?
This opportunity is open to licensed healthcare professionals, including:
Registered Nurses
Nurse Practitioners
Physicians
Osteopathic Physicians
Pharmacists
Physician Assistants
Other licensed clinicians
No previous clinical research experience is required.
Applicants should be interested in professional growth, continuing education, and expanding access to clinical research in the communities they serve.
