Terms of Reference/Charge/Functions
Committee Charge: The C&DP Division is a multi-disciplinary, international group of CRS
members dedicated to advancing science, technology, and education in the field of controlled
release or delivery of non-pharmaceutical active ingredients. The following are the basic
elements of our Division charge:
 Continuously review and expand the scope of C&DP by identifying new or existing
C&DP areas that are not represented and developing avenues that will encourage interest
and contribution.
 Seek cost-effective means to promote awareness and visibility of the C&DP track in the
CRS.
 Seek opportunities inside and outside CRS to provide education on CR technologies and
applications.
 Seek opportunities to bring outside interests into CRS where they can contribute and
develop a better understanding of CRS.
 Establish/re-establish university connections to encourage C&DP interest and activity
among young scientists.
 Optimize/maximize offerings at the Annual Meeting to encourage interest and provide a
maximum return on investment for attendees.
 Maintain global representation on the committee to best reach the global audience.
 Maintain comprehensive C&DP representation on the committee to reach all C&DP
industries.
 Establish active connections to local CRS C&DP chapters to gain an understanding of
their interests and identify potential mutually beneficial interactions.
 By April 2013, provide the Board with a plan for activities of the Division for the coming
12 months. In developing this plan, seek input from the Board of Scientific Advisors
(BSA), the Translational & Regulatory Committee (T&R), the Products and Services
Committee (P&S) and the Annual Meeting Committee (AMC).
 On request, provide input to the BSA to help it meet its role in identifying emerging
issues and trends in the Division's speciality area.
 On request, provide input to the T&R to help it meet its role in identifying translational
and regulatory issues of importance to the Division's speciality area.
 On request, provide input to the P&S to help it meet its role in identifying novel products
and services in the Division's specialty area.
 On request, provide input to the AMC to help it meet its role in identifying themes for the
annual science meetings.
 On request, provide input to the AMPC to help it meet its role in planning an Annual
Meeting.

In April each year, provide the Board with a report of activities of the previous 12
