For 50 years, the mission of the Association of Clinical Research Professionals (ACRP) has been rooted in this fundamental truth: Advancing excellence in clinical research means empowering clinical research professionals who make revolutionary healthcare breakthroughs possible.

Through gold standard training, industry-leading certification, professional advocacy, and a passionate and engaged global community, ACRP has prepared its members to effectively navigate today’s complexities and plan for tomorrow’s opportunities.  

From paper to technology platforms, from efficiencies in monitoring trials to the mobile device explosion, ACRP has been there for every transformation, ensuring our members aren't just keeping pace with change—they are leading it.

Through the many contributions of ACRP’s membership and clinical research professionals everywhere, the future of clinical research is being shaped right here, right now. And ACRP is committed to ensuring that excellence defines it, drives it, and distinguishes it.  

The next 50-plus years in clinical research will bring challenges no one can imagine.  And we are ready. For all of it.
