Emerging Investigators Yield Unique Benefits, Applied Clinical Trials

New investigators practicing in community-based settings bring enthusiasm and a fresh approach to clinical research, while also boosting collaboration and merging personal connection and patient-centric insights.

“Overlooking the advantages of engaging emerging investigators in clinical trials negates the influential role they play in the sustainability and evolution of clinical research. I believe that as new investigators, we not only boost research capacity and expand access to geographically, racially, and ethnically diverse patients but also hold the power to help integrate research into communities more effectively. The fact that we are newer to the clinical trial ecosystem may mean that we bring in less hands-on trial experience, but we bring new perspectives, open-mindedness, and enthusiasm.”
