ACRP Guiding Principles for Inclusion, Equity, and Representation

Inclusion, equity, and representation are essential values to the success of ACRP. We are committed to serving equitably.

• We welcome all and are committed to focusing on the diverse needs of the professional clinical research community.
• We advocate for diverse representation in the clinical research workforce, understanding that diversity of clinical research professionals contributes to a more representative patient and participant clinical research population.
• We develop education and training through the lens of inclusion, equity, and representation; we are committed to providing support for people to access training for entering the clinical research career and for advancing their career.
• We demonstrate honesty, fairness, and the highest standards of ethical behavior as the foundations of all we do. We encourage open and active dialogue, contributions from diverse groups, and coordinated and collaborative efforts.
• We applaud courage to imagine what can be possible and welcome opportunities to pioneer innovative and dynamic solutions.

Meet Our Diversity Advisory Council (DAC): The DAC is a group of industry leaders who serve as a volunteer resource supporting ACRP’s efforts to increase diversity in the clinical research workforce. DAC members recommend strategies to recruit and retain outstanding, high-quality clinical research professionals and students from historically underrepresented groups.
