DEXTA aims to register for NIHR Associate Principle Investigator Scheme upon receiving regulatory approval.

Please identify trainees who would be interested in enrolling. Upon successful registeration, applicants will be able to register to be an Associate PI for DEXTA, having obtained approval from their local PI.

To register, please visit Apply to be Associate Principal Investigator and please inform the DEXTA team before submitting a registration form. 

For DEXTA PI’s this could have the benefit of providing additional support in delivering the study, whilst allowing trainees to incorporate research into their training. The scheme is open to trainees, nurses, and allied health professionals, allowing them to gain official recognition for research activity (it is not open to those whose roles are already research funded). The scheme allows others to work alongside the PI, however the PI always retains oversight of the trial.

Involves: A 6-month commitment to the trial is required to gain associate PI status, and NIHR provide a checklist of tasks to be completed during those 6 months. These activities are all logged on the NIHR learn platform. Upon completion of the scheme, you will receive a certificate.
