To innovate well is really tough. Many ideas are brought forward as innovation but a successful innovation passes the so what and who cares test. We will explore all the variables that make up valuable innovations from human factors/usability, patient safety issues to the topic of how safe is safe. 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. "Diabetes Education Research" Research indicates that successful behavior change that is required to manage diseases like diabetes is more likely to occur if the patient has good sources of social support from family and partners. Since partners do make a difference, we believed that it was time to design an intervention that ensures that their impact is positive and sustained. We will describe the background, design and implementation of a couples focused diabetes intervention that is currently being studied. 3:00 - 3:15 p.m. Break - 15 minutes 3:15 - 4:15 p.m. "Site Strategies for Survival During this Economic Flux in
our Industry" The global economic crisis has affected the pharmaceutical research business. Investigative sites are not immune to the turmoil. There are fewer studies, more competition for each study, increasing complexity of protocols and flat budgets. This presentation explores ways for sites to survive and succeed during this challenging time. 4:15 - 4:30 p.m. Program Q&A CE: SoCRA Member attendees may be credited for (up to) 5.5 hours Continuing Education Credit Hours.

North Carolina (East) SoCRA Chapter NewsGreetings, The February 2012, meeting of the Clinical Research Professionals of North Carolina (a chapter of SoCRA also referred to as NC East or the RTP chapter) will be held on Monday, 6 February, at Duke Clinical Research Institute (DCRI), Durham, from 6:00 to 7:00 PM. A brief summary of the program and a biosketch forthe speaker can be found below. DATE: Monday, February 6, 2012, 6:00-7:00 PM PLACE: Duke Clinical Research Institute (DCRI) OUR TOPIC: Is the Consent Form Appropriate? SPEAKER: Cresha Cianciolo, RN, CCRP, Clinical Research Associate, Duke Clinical Research Institute Many times Site Investigators delegate their site coordinators to manage IRB submissions and develop an Informed Consent to correspond with a new protocol. Often there is little guidance or support available within the office/practice. This presentation will review the expected elements required by the Code of Federal Regulations under Title 21, as well as Title 45. The basic elements as well as the additional elements will be discussed. Upon completion of this presentation the participants will have a general understanding of what to include in an Informed Consent Form (ICF) and what resources are available to assist in this endeavor. ABOUT OUR SPEAKER: As a nurse, Ms. Cianciolo was fortunate to work in several high powered university medical centers as a critical care nurse. She did this for over ten years before going into the research arena. She started as a site coordinator mostly working on cardiology studies for over a decade. She is currently a Clinical Research Associate at the Duke Clinical Research Institute where she has guided site coordinators in the art of research for over 18 years. Of special note, Ms. Cianciolo is proud of the fact that she is one of the founding members of our local SoCRA chapter.
