The Association of Clinical Research Professionals

Transformation of the Clinical Research Enterprise Survey

As we enter 2025, ACRP is deepening its commitment to advocate for—and amplify the voices of—clinical research professionals.

A new year affords us the opportunity to shape a fresh perspective. And to transform the clinical research enterprise. And who better to provide a different viewpoint on transforming clinical trials than the ACRP community?

That’s why we’re excited to announce the first-ever national survey to gauge what you think about the past, present, and future of clinical research. Have things improved? Are you hopeful? If you had just one change to make in how clinical research is conducted, what you would ask for?

This is a different survey for a distinct time—we need real change in how trials are conducted for the benefit of everyone.

Our survey will bring YOUR voice to the discussion about how clinical trials are conducted and will capture YOUR perceptions on:

  • the state of clinical research—today and tomorrow
  • how the industry may change in the next five to ten years, and
  • what solutions will finally break down persistent barriers?

SHARE YOUR INSIGHTS

This is a pivotal opportunity to share your first-hand expertise, successes, and the challenges you face as you strive each day to make clinical research work—and work better—for the participants and patients you serve.

Please participate and share your input by Wednesday, January 15, 2025.

Your responses will remain anonymous, and the data will contribute to ACRP’s efforts to communicate our community’s perspectives through whitepapers, the ACRP 2025 Annual Conference, and other published materials, including blogs, articles, and social media.

If you have any questions about this survey or how the data will be used, please .

This session builds on an NIH survey that was first examined at ACRP 2024 and then expanded upon in this Transformation of the Clinical Research Enterprise Survey with the goal of understanding how to improve clinical trials from those who implement and manage trials.

Come hear wisdom gathered from clinical research professionals just like yourself–and share your voice in this lively discussion. Our speakers will share the survey insights and propose practical, solutions-based approaches to overcome the reported barriers. All ACRP 2025 registrants will receive exclusive access to a pre-read document before the conference to help set the stage for the discussion in New Orleans.
