Research Investigators

Research studies are led by Investigators. A Chief Investigator (CI) is 鈥渢he overall lead researcher for a research project鈥 and 鈥渉as responsibility for its overall conduct鈥. A Principal Investigator (PI) is the 鈥渓ead researcher for a research project at a particular site鈥. (UK Policy Framework for Health and Social Care 2017).

CIs and PIs can be NHS staff, academics, or a clinical academics. A clinical academic is qualified and trained in both medicine and science.

Although typically doctors and dentists, many registered professionals such as nurses, midwives and Allied Health Professionals may also take on clinical academic positions. Clinical and non-clinical staff can act as a Chief or Principal Investigator. To act as a CI or PI, an individual requires the right training and experience to undertake the role for the study. Outside of Clinical Academic routes, registered professionals can gain relevant experience and training through academic fellowships, clinical training fellowships and in-practice fellowships.
