The International Association of Clinical Research Nurses is a professional nursing organization. Its mission is to define, validate and advance clinical research nursing as a specialty practice and to support the professional development of registered nurses who directly or indirectly impact the care of clinical research participants across all clinical specialties. The mission of the Ohio Valley IACRN chapter is to provide a forum that will facilitate collaboration and best practices between institutions, to provide educational opportunities for professional development and to advance clinical research nursing as a specialty practice.

The CCTST provides financial support for our chapter, therefore dues are not collected for the Ohio Valley Chapter of the IACRN. To be an official member of our chapter, you would need to join the IACRN parent organization. The Ohio Valley IACRN offers an institutional membership in collaboration with the CCTST, which means that the more members that join, the more of a discount that can be offered! Please visit the IACRN Institutional Membership webpage or contact Kristal Hatter or Lori Brunner for more information.
