About SOCRA
The Society of Clinical Research Associates (SOCRA) is a non-profit, charitable and educational membership organization committed to providing education, certification, and networking opportunities to all persons involved in clinical research activities. SOCRA, the premier educational organization for oncology site coordinators, has now emerged as a leading educational organization for clinical researchers in all therapeutic areas, supporting industry, government and academia.
Since incorporation in 1991, SOCRA has been a champion of innovation and growth. The path that brought us to this level started with an exploration into available educational opportunities for site based clinical coordinators. The lack thereof and the thirst for information resulted in an organization founded by creative and forward thinking leaders. Today, the organization has realized membership growth and program expansion exceeding its expectations.
