The 2013 Long Island Bike Challenge (LIBC) is on Sunday, August 4. All funds raised by riders participating in the LIBC will be donated to the Feinstein Institute.
To enter the race there is a fee of $70 – this provides for your own racing bike shirt, drinks and snacks along the race, breakfast after the race, and a ride back to the starting point. There are three starting points – participants can bike for 100 miles, 62 miles, or 40 miles. The 100-mile ride begins at 6:00 am sharp in the parking lot of the Wantagh LIRR station, the 62-mile ride begins in Medford at 9:15 am and the 40-mile ride begins in Westhampton at 10:30 am. The finish for all three rides is in East Hampton.
Each rider is REQUIRED to raise a minimum of $250. Of course there is no maximum. Why is this required? As a cyclist registering for LIBC you are signing up for a fundraising mission, AND a bike ride. The purpose of this event is to find cures to diseases that affect millions of people. These funds enable physicians and scientists, right here on Long Island to pursue innovative research that benefits all of us! As a dedicated event participant you are an integral part of this effort. COMMIT to the ride – COMMIT to raising the money as well! For more information on fundraising, click here.
This ride is open to all cyclists willing to take on the challenge of biking between 40 and 100 miles, and raising money from supporters.

Clinical Trials Management Webinar Series
The Society of Research Administrators International presents a four-part webinar series to navigate the intricate landscape of clinical trials management.
The mixed-model of central and local IRBs has been common for years. Many institutions maintain local IRBs as a means to manage risk and provide site-specific content.
However, this system can be inefficient, lengthens the time to initiate studies, and can produce inconsistent results. To address the situation, the National Cancer Institute made available its own central IRB (CIRB). It also recently proposed exclusively using their central IRB for all federally sponsored cancer trials (NCI, “Central IRB Initiative”). The two primary regulatory bodies, OHRP and FDA, have also supported central review. The recent Advanced Notice for Proposed Rule Making (ANPRM) suggests that multi-site studies be required to utilize a single central IRB for all sites.
In this Webinar, Stephanie Pyle of Schulman Associates IRB will discuss compelling reasons why institutions choose to work with a central IRB, the role and responsibilities of the central IRB in research conduct and oversight, and practical tips for working efficiently and collaboratively with a central IRB. This presentation will focus mainly on interactions with commercial central IRBs.
Learning Objectives:
Knowledge Level: Intermediate/Advanced
Who Should Attend: Local IRB staff, research administrators, IRB administrators, sponsored projects managers and directors, members of hospital research groups, academic research staff, pharmaceutical and device sponsors, chief research officers
Presenter: Stephanie Pyle, MFA
To RSVP, please contact Barbara Ventura.

Clinical Trials Management Webinar Series
The Society of Research Administrators International presents a four-part webinar series to navigate the intricate landscape of clinical trials management.
The past few years have been noteworthy for the multitude of new and revised regulations. This changing environment can significantly impact how you currently structure your clinical trial agreements. Getting them wrong could mean increased liability, fines or lost revenue for your institution.
Learning Objectives:
Knowledge Level: Intermediate/Advanced
Who Should Attend: Attorneys, Contract Specialists, Compliance Officers, IRB Leadership, Privacy Officers, Department Managers; Medical Practice Managers;
Medical Billing Staff; Clinical Trials Office Staff; Study Coordinators; Internal Auditors
Presenter: Eve M. Brunts, Partner at Ropes & Gray, LLP
To RSVP, please contact Barbara Ventura.

The North Shore-LIJ Medical Marvels Program was established in 2013 by The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research and the Center for Workforce Readiness. The purpose is to encourage Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) career pathways for Long Island High School Students in 9th and 10th grades. The 2014 competition will be the second year of this program.
NOTE: This competition is open to all and students do NOT need to be in structured science research programs.
Respondents to this proposal are presented with the following hypothetical scenario to which teams must present a comprehensive response plan including a technological/engineering component, a scientific research assessment, and public policy (public health and communication) strategy addressing the following three time frames.
You are the mayor of an urban center in a US costal community and have been monitoring a developing storm for about a week. You received reports from the National Weather Service that the storm has developed and will make landfall within the next 36-48 hours and will likely have become a Category 1-2 hurricane by that time. Your community falls within a likely path of the storm, what should you do to prepare?
The storm hits your community on August 28th 2013 and was underestimated, registering as a category 3 hurricane at landfall. You sought and received a declaration of a state of emergency on August 27th. The storm brought winds of 125mph, and devastating damage including the destruction of businesses, the loss of a major healthcare provider, damaged homes and buildings, tremendous flooding, impassable roads, hundreds of downed trees and a loss of power and water, food sources are scarce and roads impassable. Your town is distraught and looking for help and aid. What do you do?
It is 8 months after the storm, and much of the immediate damage has been cleaned up, however many houses have been completely destroyed, either torn apart by the wind, smashed by falling trees, or are unlivable due to flooding. There have been cases of mold as well as an increase in disease from the people living in the shelters. Businesses are struggling to recover and at least one healthcare facility remains off line. How do you move your town forward and get back to normal? Many people are asking, could some of the devastation been avoided? What can be done to improve infrastructure so this does not happen again?
Each team must develop a plan which uses a technological/engineering component, a scientific research assessment, and public policy (public health and communication) strategy in a multidisciplinary team approach.
• The winning team will receive a $1,800 scholarship
• The second place team will receive a $1,000 scholarship
• The third place team will receive a $500 scholarship
Eligible applicants include any NYS accredited educational institution in Nassau or Suffolk County. Each eligible institution which responds to this Letter of intent will be asked to identify at least 1 multi-disciplinary team of students and a faculty mentor.
All student team members must be in 9th or 10th grade and each eligible institution may submit 2 teams per school not to exceed 12 students in total. For example an institution may submit 1 team of 6 students or 2 teams of 6 students, or teams of fewer students. Schools will be required to identify a team lead for each section and schools are encouraged to look for students in formal and informal science programs as well as students who may be in programs outside traditionally labeled science research programs such students in social studies or technology tracked courses. Eligible institutions may create collaborative teams across districts and schools; however each school district may only submit 2 teams per high school.
• December 1, 2013: Letter of Intent due, submit to cwr@nshs.edu

Letters of Intent will be due December 1, 2013, should be signed by the appropriate building principal(s) or district administrator and may be submitted to the Center for Workforce Readiness at North Shore-LIJ at cwr@nshs.edu.
The Letter of intent should be submitted on institutional letterhead, is not binding and should include the following 3 sections:
1) a brief history of the school district and its programs in STEM education,
2) a concise description of the programs that will be leveraged for this project and how students will be selected for participation, and
3) identification of a designated faculty representative (including contact information) for the program at the school.
