Many clinical researchers start with little preparation, relying on trial and error to develop critical thinking and self-reliance. In the February Clinical Researcher, the need for structured training is emphasized, including an introductory manual, clear job descriptions, varied learning methods, and shadowing to build confidence and competency.

ACRP has created a solutions framework for addressing the clinical research workforce crisis, based on a number of clear domains. These domains represent the macrostructure, or conceptual blueprint, which can then be translated into a range of tactical models of varying size, scope, and reach, all designed to meet situational needs. Our ambition is that this construct will be cited and deployed industry-wide, as a navigational device to show where each individual solution fits.

It's one of our favorite times of the year—when we launch our annual Clinical Trials Day campaign to celebrate the dedicated clinical research workforce around the globe! This year, we selected "Powered by Purpose" as our #CTD2025 campaign theme to honor the power and purpose of all clinical research professionals. We know that at the forefront of every therapeutic breakthrough, you’ll find clinical researchers who are driven by a powerful purpose: advancing treatments that transform patients' lives. Clinical researchers are powered by a commitment to drive clinical research forward. They are powered by knowing that the work they do matters. They are powered by the common purpose of advancing human health. Visit the 2025 #ClinicalTrialsDay website to learn more about the theme and view the many ways you can celebrate online, at home, and in the office > https://lnkd.in/eDYjHMK ACRP is grateful for the support of the 2025 CTD Official Sponsors: • Advarra - Official Technology Sponsor • Sanofi - Official Pharma/Biotech Sponsor • Thermo Fisher Scientific - Official Contract Research Organization [CRO] Sponsor • Velocity Clinical Research, Inc. - Official Sites Organization Sponsor We are grateful for the continued generosity and partnership.

ACRP's new white paper calls upon all those invested in conducting clinical research responsibly to support efforts focused on building a supply chain of talent to feed the clinical research enterprise.
