Membership
SoCRA membership is available to all clinical research professionals who work with
cooperative research groups, academic and private institutions, pharmaceutical and
biotechnology companies, device manufacturers, CROs, SMOs, independent research and
development organizations, and those who are involved in the management of clinical
trials.
If you work with clinical trials supporting the research institution or manufacturer of
a new drug, product, or treatment regimen, then you are a clinical research professional.
Whether called an investigator, monitor, auditor, data manager, clinical coordinator,
research nurse, or research professional - you are an integral part of the research team.
SoCRA's members work in ALL fields of research. A common bond exists among those
involved in all areas of the clinical research professional's responsibilities, such as;
dealing with informed consents, institutional review boards, medical ethics, and
regulatory issues. With changes occurring daily in the health-care field, we must all stay
abreast of the latest developments and practices which affect us. SoCRA is the national
organization with a mission for education and information exchange.
SoCRA has adopted an Ethics Statement for its members. As clinical research
professionals, we must recognize our responsibilities to follow ethical principles when
participating in clinical trials. Please sign the Ethics
Statement and submit it with your SoCRA membership
application.
