Cardinal Curriculum is Stanford's historical foundational research administration training program that is being retired as of 9/30/24 and replaced by the Cardinal Research Administration Foundational Training or CRAFT program effective 10/1/24.
If you have an in-progress Cardinal Curriculum program enrollment, either Level 1 and/or Level 2, you can still complete it/them by taking the CRAFT equivalent courses.
Effective 10/1/24, new hires into non-School of Medicine RA 1-4 job codes and/or locally identified as having Pre-award and/or Post-award department research administration job duties must complete CRAFT Level 1 and Level 2 within 12 months of their hire.
School of Medicine Research Administrators and/or SoM individuals working regularly in research administration are highly encouraged to complete CRAFT Level 1 and Level 2 within 12 months of their hire, and they may be required to do so by their manager/department.
