The ‘Preparing Scientists for the Principal Investigator Role and Impact in the Medical Device Sector – White Paper’ was developed by members of the PI Impact team Prof James Cunningham of Northumbria University, Prof Caroline McGregor and Dr Brendan Dolan, both of NUI Galway. The PI Impact: Research in Medical Devices project is support by CÚRAM SFI Research Centre for Medical Devices and is funded by Science Foundation Ireland and the European Regional Development Fund.
This White Paper, which includes a foreword by Prof Abhay Pandit, Scientific Director of CÚRAM, provides an overview and analysis of the important and complex role of the PI in medical device research processes and the need to support these scientists to become more impactful in their research activities, and concludes with a set of recommendations in this regard.
