@dansfera: The gatekeepers of clinical research just moved the goalposts. New Principal Investigators are facing a massive shift: general clinical experience no longer cuts it. Now, you need proven, trial-specific expertise to lead a study. It’s a silent barrier that’s shaking up the industry, leaving research-naive PIs in a tough spot unless they find a mentor to bring them on as a Sub-I first. Even the definitions for service providers are tightening up. Is this the end of the entry-level PI era? #clinicalresearch #clinicaltrials #principalinvestigator #researchlife #pharmaindustry
