ACRP Fellowship

About ACRP Fellowship

Fellowship is a mark of distinction; a recognition of leadership and contribution to ACRP and the clinical research industry. ACRP will recognize those who have made substantial contributions to the association and the industry. Fellowship will be suitable for only a select number of clinical research professionals who are recognized as global leaders.

Fellows are inducted annually at a ceremony during the ACRP Meeting & Expo and given the designation “FACRP.”

Applying for Fellowship

The Fellowship application process is open through August 31, 2017. If you have been contacted via email to confirm your ACRP membership qualification for Fellowship, you may apply below. If prompted to sign in, use your acrpnet.org login information to access the application.

APPLY FOR ACRP FELLOWSHIP

The Fellowship application consists of three sections:

• Section A – ACRP Education and/or Certification
• Section B – Contributions to ACRP
• Section C – Contributions to the field of Clinical Research

Each section of the application requires a minimum and a maximum point value. The items in each section sum up to those minimum and maximum point values. In total, applicants must achieve a minimum of 100 points to be considered by the Fellowship Committee. You must sum up your points in each section (do not claim more than the maximum point level) and be sure to submit the necessary documentation requested at the end of the application.

The application will auto-fill with ACRP activities you may claim for Sections A & B – the items that auto fill are NOT meant to be the only items you may claim for that section, but are merely sample of items you may claim as they are recorded in our database. There are many other items you may claim (for instance, engagement with your local chapter) so long as you provide the appropriate proof where requested.

Please review the instructions and follow them carefully. Inaccurate or incomplete applications will not be reviewed by the Fellowship Committee. You may start the application at any time. You may also save the application and return to it at any time prior to the final submission date of August 31, 2017. Applications must be submitted electronically with the $150 application fee. This is a one-time fee. Your annual membership dues will not be affected.

The Fellowship Committee reviews each application. Each applicant must receive a majority of votes of the Fellows Committee to be approved. A final slate of candidates is then submitted to the Association Board of Trustees for a final approval.
