From your 2009 IACRN Planning Committee
(Please see "About the Conference" tab for the full notice)
The International Association of Clinical Research Nurses Planning Committee appreciates the participation of all “Nurses Bridging the Gap in Clinical and Translational Research” conference attendees.
As an attendee, you joined 130 of your colleagues to dialogue and network about the exciting and timely topics of the varying roles of clinical research nurses, global market effects, importance of GCP practices, dimensions of practice, and recruitment strategies for clinical research nurses. If you missed the meeting, it was a highly energetic meeting! The meeting was attended by nurses from the United Kingdom, Canada and throughout the United States. Many highly visible nursing colleagues, representing interests of both industry and academia, joined our efforts towards highlighting and defining our specialty nursing practice and contributions to the clinical research enterprise.
We would like to THANK Boston Children’s Hospital for their generous support of the meeting and hosting all of the sessions within the institution. At the direction of our planning committee chair, Margaret McCabe, DNSc, RN, PNP-BC, we were the recipients of excellent refreshments, facilities, and a wonderful dinner on Friday night. Without the generous support of Eileen Sporing, MSN, RN, NEA-BC, CNO for Boston Children’s Hospital, our fledgling organization would not have been able to put together this meeting.
We would like to thank everyone who signed up for the committees. You will be contacted by committee chairs in the next couple of weeks. There is so much work that needs to get done with the first few initiatives and we are grateful for your commitment. All clinical research nurses will benefit from your hard work!
We value your feedback and welcome feedback on what topics you would be interested in seeing covered at the 2010 Conference. Please email suggestions to through the IACRN website.

If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact any of the board members through our website.
Thanks Again!
