What is an Associate PI Scheme Champion?

The Associate Principal Investigator (PI) Scheme has launched an optional new role that National Study Teams may wish to have within their teams. The role is the Associate PI Scheme Champion.

The Champion would be a local source of information and support for staff at the managing organisation of a study, whether that be a CTU, R&D Department, CRO, etc. The overall aim of the role is promotion of the Associate PI Scheme within the organisation and have a good awareness of the Scheme to help improve uptake.

This is an optional role.

How do I put myself forward for this role? 

There may already be somebody at your local site who would be a good fit for this role (it may even be you!)

What we are asking is that; 

1. Anyone who is interested in taking on this role for their managing organisation has a conversation with their line manager to seek their approval. 

2. The person interested in taking on the role then needs to inform the Associate PI Scheme team that they will be taking on the role by completing the nomination form available below.
