18,000 Strong

Healthcare is important to everyone. You may be touched, personally, as well as professionally. You may have a friend, family member, or colleague who needs more than traditional medicine can provide—they need a clinical trial. You are in a unique position to recognize how these issues, none more important than human subject protection, affect more than individual families, but workplaces, organizations, and our communities.

At ACRP, the groundwork for our organization begins with our members. We strive to provide a strong support system, which in turn allows for our members to participate in advancing our mission. As a member in ACRP, you are making a conscious and voluntary decision to uphold the highest standard of integrity and excellence within the clinical research profession.

We want to ensure that you are aware of what your Association membership entitles you to and that you are taking full advantage of it. For example, members of ACRP have the opportunity to stay connected with 18,000 of their peers and colleagues around the globe, through the only clinical research-specific social media platform, the Online Community. If you’ve never signed in before, it is easy to get started! We have tutorial videos up on our YouTube page, which you can access by clicking here. We encourage you to reach out, get involved, and engage others! And, if you have not done so already, please add me as a contact.

Membership also includes annual subscriptions to The Monitor and eNewsletters, access to the Career Center, and an opportunity to network face-to-face at your Local Chapters. This is all in addition to member-only rates on programs and products, including Certification, Classroom Courses, Webinars, Home Study tests from The Monitor, Webinar Replays or the many offerings within the Online Conference Library. Whatever your needs are, ACRP is your primary source for wherever your career path takes you.

ACRP Members are driven to improve the quality and safety of clinical research around the world, and we will continue to support you, and other clinical researchers at-large, in your endeavors.

Join our movement! If you have a colleague who is not a member, I ask you to invite them to join 18,000 strong and begin taking part in all ACRP has to offer for the advancement of the global clinical research community. As a part of our mission to promote knowledge in the pursuit of excellence, please invite your peers to view September’s issue of The Monitor, which is open to the public and available here.
