Presidents’ Message The recent economic downturn has been difficult for the clinical research community, including an impact on available training and professional development funding, which has affected many companies and individuals. The ACRP Canadian Chapter Executive is committed to responding to the needs of Canadian ACRP members, current and future. We will continue to expand the regional education initiative (EPICC), develop webinars, and look for new and cost-effective ways to inform and serve Canadian clinical researchers. Watch this website for news of upcoming educational events. Please contact any Executive member with your comments and suggestions, or if you wish to volunteer!
