Catherine, thank you for being a PRIM&R Member.

In 2024, PRIM&R is celebrating it's 50th Anniversary! Thank you for being a part of our mission to ensure the highest ethical standards in research. To kick off our celebrations, we're excited to revisit the People & Perspectives interview with PRIM&R's founder and first executive director, Joan Rachlin, JD, MPH. Learn about Joan's early interest in social justice and civil rights, and the life experiences that led her to establish PRIM&R as an organization in 1974.
