prim&r’s 2012 institutional animal care and use committee conference

Welcome from PRIM&R’s Executive Director

(Pc) members, who created this rich and relevant

program. Please join me in thanking co-chairs,

Beth ford and Taylor Bennett, and the members,

george Babcock, Sam cartner, carol clark, molly

greene, claire Hankenson, Tanise Jackson, chris

Newcomer, marky Pitts, Andrew Rowan, Harry

Rozmiarek, mary Jo Shepherd, and Susan Silk, all

of whom were dedicated, diligent, enthusiastic,

and committed to putting together another

“can’t-miss” program.

We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank

you to our faculty members! PRIm&R is grateful

and delighted that so many leaders from across

the research spectrum—institutional officials,

ethicists, researchers, veterinarians and veterinary

staff, IAcUc directors and staff, regulators,

community members, policy-makers, and industry

representatives—are here with us today. given

the breadth of their knowledge and experience,

we’re confident that you’ll leave Boston inspired,

energized, and armed with new knowledge and

skills that will enable you to keep pace when the

tempo picks up at your IAcUc.

Of course this program and these faculty

members would be “trees falling in the forest”

if no one was here to hear them, so I next want

to thank all of you for coming! This community

shares a commitment to the responsible care

and use of laboratory animals, and your presence

here tangibly acknowledges the importance

of continuing education to fulfill that

commitment.

Dear friends,

Thank you for joining us at the 2012 IACUC Conference! We are delighted to welcome you to PRIm&R’s hometown, and just in time for spring! As each of you knows, all important undertakings take teamwork, and the planning and production of this conference is no exception. I’d therefore like to thank the talented and tireless Planning committee

welco

me

march 20-21 , boston, massachusetts

I’d like to give a special shout-out to our members,

without whose support we would not be the

largest research ethics organization in the world.

This year marks the 26th anniversary of our

membership, and we’re proud that more than

3,600 individuals now share PRIm&R’s mission of

advancing the highest ethical standards in

the conduct of research. We cannot thank

our members enough for their loyalty, and

my colleagues and I look forward to your

continued involvement.

finally, PRIm&R conferences are designed to

encourage attendees to wrestle with the difficult

issues in animal care and use. Your work is

demanding, and doesn’t often allow for moments

of reflection, whether on ethical questions,

regulatory conundrums, or best practices. We also

hope that you’ll find time while on site to connect

with new and old friends as we together renew our

shared commitment to the responsible and ethical

use of animals in research.

We are a friendly bunch, but can only stay that

way if each of you reaches out to someone you

did not know when you first arrived. Please take

a moment to converse with a “neighbor,” a faculty

member, a rainbow-ribbon wearer (signaling a

first-time attendee), and/or with a member of the

PRIm&R staff. We’re eager to do anything we can

to enhance your conference experience, so throw

shyness to the wind and plant some new seeds

now that this season of growth and possibility is

upon us.

We admire and appreciate your commitment to

the essential work of advancing ethical research,

and your day-in, day-out contributions to building

the trust that keeps the research enterprise strong

and respected.

Warmly,

J oa n r aC h l i n , J D, m P h

Welcome from the Conference Co-Chairs

Through the IACUC Conferences, PRIM&R strives to

create a forum in which professionals can discuss

interpretation and implementation of regulations

alongside effective strategies for confronting ethical

challenges involved in animal research. Over the

next two days, we are confident that the keynote

addresses and panels will provide you with insight

and inspiration, while the didactic sessions and

hands-on workshops will offer you concrete tools

to strengthen your knowledge.

Creating the program for this conference was a

feat that could not have been undertaken without

the time, expertise, and dedication of more than a

dozen volunteers who participated as members of

the conference Planning Committee. It was truly a

vast undertaking, each person worked tirelessly to

develop a roster of timely and relevant keynotes,

panels, and breakout sessions, and to identify those

best suited as faculty to bring the content to life. We

believe that the committee has created a program

of engaging, inspiring, and thought-provoking topics

that will allow you not only to enjoy the conference,

but to return to your home institutions with fresh

ideas and perspectives that you can use to bolster

your animal care and use program.

We also received many excellent suggestions in

response to our Call for Program Topics, as well as

exemplary abstracts for the poster presentations.

We would therefore like to thank all those who

contributed content, abstracts, time, and effort to

this year’s conference. We rely on our community

for fresh ideas and perspectives, and the program

is stronger for it.

Thank you so much for coming, and we hope

that you find the meeting an enriching experience.

Our aim is for you to have multiple opportunities to

engage in dialogue, work hard, and have some fun.

We hope you will make the most of this enlightening

and stimulating environment!

So let us welcome you once again to Boston and to

the 2012 IACUC Conference! We are looking forward

to a fantastic meeting and are so glad you’re here to

help make it so.

Warmly,

In Memoriam

Rebecca ellish-Stengle, 1943 - 2011

PRIm&R joins with many others across the biomedical research community in mourning the loss of Rebecca ellish-Stengle, the longtime executive director of the michigan Society for medical Research (mISmR). Rebecca passed away on November 15,

2011, in cape Town, South Africa, on the last day of a dream safari vacation with her husband of 39 years, William Stengle. Professionally, Rebecca will be remembered as the cohesive force behind mISmR for more than 24 years. In her role as executive director, Rebecca was well known locally and nationally for her passionate defense of biomedical research and her innovative programs to build public support for biomedical research. Over the years, she launched and nurtured dozens of initiatives, including the mISmR Advocacy Awards program, a regional IAcUc training program, a forum for security professionals, and the ‘Speak Out!’ program to encourage engagement with elected officials.

mISmR’s Annual essay contest was perhaps the program nearest to Rebecca’s heart. Thanks to her efforts in reaching out to teachers across the state, thousands of essays on the benefits of biomedical research have been submitted by michigan high school and middle school students since the program’s inception. more importantly, participating in the essay contest has given those students an opportunity to carefully research and form their own

opinions on this politically and emotionally charged issue. Beginning in 2012, this award will be known as the Rebecca ellish-Stengle essay contest Award in recognition of her ongoing commitment to public education and outreach.

Personally, Rebecca’s broad spectrum of interests included theater, music, the arts, and cooking. She also loved to travel, and in 2011, as an early celebration of their upcoming 40th anniversary, she and her husband traveled not only to South Africa but also to the galapagos Islands.

Rebecca is survived by her husband, her daughter and son-in-law, Deborah Stengle-Wilson and carlos Wilson, and her younger daughter, laura Stengle, as well as her beloved dog, Jackson.

PRIM&R extends its thanks to Cindy Hoorn for writing this In Memoriam and for helping us to ensure Rebecca’s efforts are shared with our community.

“ With Rebecca, even our most casual conversations were uninhibited and intense. She cared passionately about life and worked tirelessly to bring out the best in everyone.”

~ LOUIS D’ALECY, MISMR BOARD PRESIDENT AND PROFESSOR, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN

“ Rebecca leaves behind an unparalleled legacy of commitment to biomedical research and loyalty to friends and ideals.”

~ BASIM DUBAYBO, MISMR BOARD MEMBER AND PROFESSOR, WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY

“ Rebecca was a warm, generous, and funny woman with a great talent for bringing people together. She treated each and every person she worked with as not only a valued colleague but as a dear friend.”

~ CINDY HOORN, MISMR VICE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR, PFIzER, INC.

Rebecca’s friends and colleagues will remember her for her “gift of gab” and her love of story-telling. Some of these friends have shared their thoughts on Rebecca’s passing and we’d like to share a few of them with you:

Since his death, Henry Spira, a passionate and effective social justice advocate, an animal rights activist, and an uncommonly wise and grounded individual, has been recognized at PRIm&R’s IACUC Conference through the Henry Spira memorial lecture. PRIm&R hosts this lecture both to honor

his memory and to commemorate his ability to bring together the scientific and animal rights communities. According to a New York Times article from September 1998,

“Henry Spira’s penchant for bridge-building often extended to establishing working relationships with opponents in an effort to find common ground as a building block for progress. He contended that the destructive raids by the underground Animal Liberation Front on laboratories were counterproductive. And while he said that the presence of more strident voices than his own was helpful to the movement, he never hesitated to part ways with groups like the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals by praising companies like Procter & Gamble when he saw them making progress on reducing their use of animal testing, even if he had been unable to extract commitments to end all such work.”

Henry was a frequent participant at PRIm&R meetings, active both at the podium and in dialogue with the scientific community on issues related to animal welfare and rights. He emphasized the necessity of working across ideological lines and communicating with individuals and organizations

that represented opposing points of view. In a 1997 film about his life, he stated,

“If there are going to be alternatives to the use of animals, it’s the people in the research community who will be developing alternatives. If you’re going to get the regulatory agencies to change their requirements, it’s going to be animal researchers who are the ones who are going to do it... these are the folks that you need if you’re going to be serious about change…”

PRIM&R is proud to present the 11th Annual Henry Spira Memorial Lecture:

Your Guide to the Conference Program

The 2012 IACUC Conference features more than 75 unique, innovative, and timely breakout sessions, which are divided into eight categories called tracks. Within each track, three types of breakout sessions are offered: workshops (interactive), didactic sessions (presentation-based), and double sessions (a hybrid of the workshop and didactic sessions).

With so many choices, finding the sessions that are best suited to you can be challenging. Use the descriptors that follow to identify the breakout sessions that are the most relevant to your needs and interests. As you consult these descriptions, please also note the following:

1 All double sessions are held over lunch

and include a box meal (provided prior to the start of the session). Pre-registration is required to ensure meal availability. If you pre-registered for a double session and are unable to attend, please let a staff member at the Help Desk know so that another person may attend in your place.

2 Please note that not every topic is a

perfect fit for one of the eight tracks. We request your indulgence if you come across an occasional round peg in a square hole.

3 The tracks are not meant to be exclusive.

for example, feel free to attend a session in the “IAcUc Administration/management and Process” track even if you are not an IAcUc administrator.

Panel III: IACUC Conundrums:

Lofty Ideals vs. Nitty-Gritty RealitiesModerator: Sam CartnerPanelists: Szczepan Baran, Leticia Medina, Steve NiemiIaCUCs are vested with the authority and responsibility for defining or verifying solutions for all the vexing problems of an animal care and use program. the ability to do this effectively depends upon their clear understanding of external regulatory requirements and industry trends; the needs of science; organizational behavior and politics; and team building and communication. Using a selection

of the intractable problems facing the IaCUC, this session will explore what information an IaCUC should possess to achieve integrated problem-solving. Issues covered will include: justifying animal study numbers with statistical data and reporting the numbers of animals bred and used in research, strategic implementation of refinements to reduce animal numbers, assurance of competency and proficiency of those who care for and use animals, and how IaCUCs should adapt and become conversant with new benchmarking approaches. 10:30-11:00 AM gRand ballRoom FoyER

Celebrating More Than 25 Years of Membership

Barbara Stanley and Natalie Reatig worked tirelessly to establish a membership group for IACUC and IRB members, administrators, and other professionals interested in and concerned with research ethics. Eleven years after the formation of PRIM&R, this new membership division was created. The mission of the Applied Research Ethics National Association (ARENA) was to “promote educational activities, networking, the resolution and/or amelioration of mutual problems, and the professional advancement of its members.”

ARENA began with 61 charter members, and from there, flourished into a lively and devoted

membership community. Today, PRIM&R is more than 3,600 members strong. We are honored and proud to recognize the extraordinary achievements of ARENA’s presidents and to publicly thank them for their enduring gift of a vibrant community of professionals dedicated to the never-ending and critical job of protecting research subjects: Natalie, Barbara, Ada Sue, David, Joseph, Jeff, Bobette, Marky, Jere, Emogene, Beth, Karen, Molly, Bill, Gary, Susan, Liz, Dan, Marianne, Dave, Nancy, and Susie, we appreciate the community you began and of which you continue to be an active and valuable part. Thank you for your dedication, determination, support, and ongoing presence.

During the organization’s first decade of existence, PRIM&R’s conferences grew dramatically in both attendance and reputation. As a result, members of the PRIM&R Board of Directors became aware of the growing educational needs of those who worked with IACUCs and IRBs, and began to consider ways in which PRIM&R might help meet those needs.
