Associate Principal Investigator Scheme

The NIHR Principal Investigator Scheme aims to develop healthcare professionals to become the PIs of the future.

What is the associate PI scheme?

• ‌It is a six month in-work training opportunity, providing practical experience for healthcare professionals starting their research career.
  
  

• People who would not normally have the opportunity to take part in clinical research in their day-to-day role have the chance to experience what it means to work on and deliver an NIHR portfolio trial under the mentorship of an enthusiastic Local Principal Investigator (PI).
  
  

• Principal Investigators receive formal recognition of engagement in NIHR Portfolio research studies through the certification of Associate PI status, endorsed by the NIHR and Royal Colleges.
