Institute of Clinical Research

The Institute of Clinical Research (ICR) is probably the oldest independent membership-led professional body for global clinical researchers. For over 40 years, The Institute of Clinical Research (ICR) has provided high quality training, networking and support to the clinical research community. For many Members the Institute has been part of their life throughout their working careers, many have been with the Institute since its first incarnation as the ACRPI. It is the membership that makes the Institute. Our Mission The ICR exists to support our members through all stages of their careers. We do this, in part, by: Defining and refining standards for our profession Providing a forum for discussion of key issues impacting clinical research Promoting good relations with other healthcare related groups Providing opportunities for learning and development to enhance professional competence Enhancing public confidence and understanding of clinical research
