Principal Investigator (PI)

Overview:

We are seeking a dedicated, board-certified Medical Doctor to serve as Principal Investigator (PI) for our newly established clinical research site in Tampa, Florida—a research-naïve, underserved region with untapped potential to contribute to the future of healthcare through clinical trials.

As a PI, you will lead ethically responsible clinical investigations that support cutting-edge research while providing access to innovative therapies for patients who’ve historically lacked exposure to clinical studies. This role offers a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of building a research culture in an area where clinical trials have rarely, if ever, been conducted.

This is a part-time role with compensation based on a revenue-sharing model tied to the number of patients enrolled, net after operational costs. It’s ideal for a physician who wants to impact their community while expanding their influence in the growing clinical research industry.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Serve as the responsible medical lead for the ethical, safe, and compliant conduct of assigned clinical trials
• Oversee and ensure the protection of patient rights and safety throughout study participation
• Assess and confirm eligibility of potential study participants according to protocol inclusion/exclusion criteria
• Obtain and/or oversee informed consent process and ensure accurate documentation
• Conduct and document study visits including physical exams, diagnostics, safety reviews, and protocol-specific assessments
• Review all safety data (labs, adverse events, medications) and apply medical judgment in real time
• Ensure accuracy and timely completion of eCRFs, protocol deviations, adverse event reports, and other key study documentation
• Manage investigational product (IP) handling, storage, accountability, and return as per protocol
• Liaise with IRBs, Sponsors, CROs, and regulatory agencies as needed for monitoring, audits, and inspections
• Attend Investigator Meetings and training as required by sponsors
• Work closely with Sub-Investigators, CRCs, and research staff to uphold study protocol compliance
• Serve as an ambassador for research in the community, helping foster trust and education around clinical trials

Knowledge, Skills & Qualifications:

• MD or DO with current license to practice in Mississippi
• Board Certified in any specialty
• Prior experience as a Principal or Sub-Investigator preferred but not required training and mentorship available
• Understanding of GCP, FDA regulations, ICH guidelines, and HIPAA compliance
• Excellent clinical judgment and decision-making skills
• Strong written and verbal communication and documentation skills
• Passion for health equity, patient access, and advancing medical knowledge in clinical research
