ACRP Partners Advancing the Clinical Research Workforce™

ACRP’s Partners Advancing the Clinical Research Workforce™ is a multi-stakeholder collaborative of clinical research industry leaders who are committed to building a diverse, research-ready clinical research workforce.

The time is now. The need is urgent. Demand for clinical trials is growing faster than the clinical research professional workforce. Building a larger, more diverse workforce is imperative to the existence, quality, and efficiency of clinical research and the inclusion of more diverse clinical trial participants.

Member organizations – who include sponsors, CROs, investigator sites, academic institutions, regulatory agencies, and more – provide strategic direction and support for breaking down barriers and building bridges for entry into the clinical research profession through key initiatives.
