About ACRP
Our mission: To provide global leadership to promote integrity and excellence for the clinical research profession.
ACRP is the primary resource for clinical research professionals in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries, and those in hospital, academic medical centers and physician office settings. ACRP was founded in 1976 to address the distinct educational and networking needs of research nurses and others who supported the work of clinical investigations. With its own professional society came the recognition of a new distinctive profession — that of the clinical researcher. More than 30 years later, ACRP is a global association comprised of more than 18,000 individuals in over 60 countries dedicated to clinical research and development.
ACRP is headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, with an additional office in Windsor, U.K.
