ICRIN Working Group<br />
Also in June, MMI established the ICRIN Working<br />
Group with the aim of increasing the number of<br />
scientifically relevant multi-centre clinical studies,<br />
and industry sponsored clinical trials in particular.<br />
Members of the Working Group who include leading<br />
clinical researchers held its first meeting on 13<br />
August under the chairmanship of Professor Larry<br />
Egan, ICRIN Clinical Director. See list of members<br />
in table below.<br />
The Working Group is addressing the following<br />
work streams:<br />
Streamlining trial approval and start-up systems<br />
- ethics, institutional, contractual, financial and<br />
improved feasibility<br />
CRC sustainability and research infrastructure<br />
assessment and proposals<br />
Process and systems harmonisation, with a<br />
focus on IT and data management, bio banking<br />
and quality management systems<br />
Training, education and resource assessment<br />
of research community – with an initial focus on<br />
research nurses<br />
Piloting multicentre clinical trials - industry and<br />
investigator-led<br />
Identification and focusing on research<br />
strengths<br />
In order to progress the theme of process<br />
harmonisation, a quality management subgroup<br />
was also instituted drawing membership from all<br />
the CRCs, MIRA, Perinatal <strong>Ireland</strong>, the National<br />
Stoke and Cardiovascular research network,<br />
National Children’s Research Centre and the UCC<br />
neonatal group.<br />
