Chapter Membership: $30/Year Join Now
Note: You must be an ACRP Member to join a local chapter. Learn more about ACRP membership.
About Our Chapter
The Great Plains Chapter was established in 2003 to provide clinical research professionals a means for professional interaction, continuing education, networking, and to deliver improved access to ACRP resources. Involvement with a local chapter is one of the best time-effective and cost-effective means to obtain education and interact with other professionals to problem solve, discuss issues of concern in clinical research, as well as provide feedback on issues of concern to ACRP.
The Great Plains Chapter hosts educational events for members and nonmembers, regarding topics that are pertinent to clinical research. Members are encouraged to recommend topics and presenters for future events. Some of the past presenters have included: IRB chairperson, research compliance officer, department chairpersons, clinical and scientific investigators, industry pharmacists, independent CRA’s, and FDA representative. Future speakers have been contacted to continue providing current information regarding important areas in clinical research.
We consistently strive to expand and strengthen our chapter membership in order to continue to provide quality educational events. We welcome volunteers and value your feedback.
