  Your participation may help improve the medication, procedures and treatments for your condition. You play a major role in developing better healthcare for people just like you around the world.
  While your personal and health information is protected, there are certain government and private agencies that must review our study findings as part of the development of future treatments and medications. They include the following:
  IRB — The Institutional Review Board (IRB) is composed of many different healthcare providers and members of the public who review the ethics of a study before it can be conducted. This group looks after your protections as a study volunteer.
  Government Agencies — Agencies, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Health Canada and European Medicines Agency, regulate what medications and treatments are available to the public. They ensure the safety of new or existing treatments before they can be prescribed or sold.
  The Florida Institute for Clinical Research Team — Our team of experienced research coordinators and physicians ensure that the study is running smoothly and according to the necessary regulations. They also keep track of your progress and interact with you when you visit the facility.
  The Pharmaceutical Sponsor — The study sponsor commissions the study to be completed by The Florida Institute for Clinical Research and prescribes exact procedures that must be followed. They monitor the progress of the clinical research study.
  For more information about any of the agencies or people involved in clinical trials, please do not hesitate to contact us.
  
  Hi Greg! Thanks for the post. I hear you on the point about burning out when you push too hard. That happens to me, too. I’ve done NaNoWriMo for the past several years, and the first was the only time I cranked out all 50k in a single month. And, like you, most of it was garbage. Now, when I do NaNoWriMo, I start early (whenever my project starts to whisper to me that it’s time), and I write at a pace that feels good for me. The result? I usually don’t win, but I end up with a respectable chunk of not-so-terrible writing under my belt. NaNo is a tool, like everything else, and you’ve got to use it however it works best for you. Or, not use it, as the case may be. Thanks again for the post, and happy writing to you!
  Hi Kathy! Forgive the lateness of this reply, but yes, that’s *exactly* the sort of thing I was going for. Every author needs to figure out what works for them to achieve the best result *for them*. I hope your month of writing went well and thanks for commenting! And sorry again it took me so long to reply. I’m terrible about checking comments!
  
  AT&T dug itself into an even deeper hole this week, announcing that it was going to sunset HBO Go (its OTT product for MVPD subscribers) on July 31 and rename HBO Now (its OTT product for everyone else) “HBO.”
  If you haven’t been following along, AT&T is in a battle with Roku and Amazon over what essentially boils down to an old school carriage deal.
