Ethics & Regulatory Forum

Ethics & Regulatory Mission Statement

The mission of the Ethics & Regulatory Forum (formerly IRB) is to insure the protection of human participants in clinical trials and to promote biomedical research consistent with ethical principles and good clinical practices. ACRP's Ethics & Regulatory Forum encourages efforts to develop a system of interdisciplinary and cross-functional training, education, and communication so that all persons involved in the conduct of clinical research acknowledge, accept, and exercise appropriate responsibility for insuring human subject protection.

We Invite You to Present at One of ACRP's Chapter Meetings

The Association of Research Professionals recognizes the fact that our membership is our greatest resource for education. Each of our members is an integral part of the clinical research team. Forum members are unique in that they have designated a special interest that they are particularly interested in/a part of. Therefore, we ask that you be willing to share your expertise and knowledge with others who possibly do not have as much experience, or simply would benefit from learning from your experience. The ACRP Chapters are constantly looking for speakers to come and present on various topics at their Chapter meetings. They also recognize that Forums are one of the greatest resources to find speakers. If you would be willing to present at a Chapter meeting, please fill out the speaker release form, and include the information that it asks for and email, fax or mail to the Chapters and Forums Coordinator, Megan Markowski (fax: (703) 253-8101) or 500 Montgomery Street, Suite 800, Alexandria, VA 22314. Your information will not be shared with anyone who is not a member of ACRP. Thank you for your consideration.
