Benefits of Chapter Membership

Becoming an active member in your local ACRP chapter is a great way to learn more about clinical research in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry and it also provides many great benefits; a member of the Greater Houston Area Chapter of ACRP can expect to receive the following benefit:

• Obtaining research-related continuing education credits for each speaker meeting you attend – which counts towards certification maintenance
• Discounted registration for chapter sponsored educational programs
• Networking in all areas of research with other engaged research professionals
• A valuable resource for information, training, and employment opportunities

Remember, only members of ACRP can become members of the local Chapter. Our Chapter is active in the National dues collection program. This means that the national organization will collect dues for local membership at the same time they collect your national dues.
