ACRP Rally4Researchers
Building a representative, research-ready clinical trial workforce is imperative to the sustainability, quality, and reliability of clinical research now and in the future–and that’s what the ACRP Rally4Researchers is all about.
This annual fundraiser supports scholarships for access to training for students pursuing a career in clinical research and continuing education grants that support advancement in clinical research careers.

Pittsburgh to Washington, D.C.
“Our industry’s efforts to increase representation are not only for the patients we serve; this work is also keenly focused on those we serve alongside (colleagues). The ACRP Rally4Researchers aims to close the equity gap in clinical research as a career option, an essential – and significant – step toward realizing health equity for all.”
– Ashley C. Moultrie, CCRP, Chair, ACRP Diversity Advisory Council, and Associate Director, Clinical Trial Diversity, Syneos Health
Meet the Team
This self-supported endurance challenge will be led by ACRP advocates for representation and inclusion in the clinical research workforce. The ride is a life-changing experience—the resilience they need to push through to the finish line comes from our mission and their dedication.

Who We Support
Since 2021, the ACRP annual cycling fundraiser has raised $249,547 in donations from individuals and corporate sponsors. Funds go directly to support educational grants and tuition scholarships. In 2025, ACRP awarded four scholarships to students from underrepresented groups who are enrolled in a community college, four-year college, or master’s-level program in clinical research through its Access for Students to Clinical Research Training (ASCRT) Scholarship program. ACRP has also awarded ten continuing education and travel grants to attend the ACRP 2025 conference in New Orleans. The recipients were selected by the ACRP Diversity Advisory Council.

4. Become a Corporate Sponsor
