Ophthalmic Research Training Services

Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine which deals with the diseases and surgery of the visual pathways, including the eye, hairs, and areas surrounding the eye, such as the lacrimal system and eyelids. The term ophthalmologist is an eye specialist for medical and surgical problems. Since ophthalmologists perform operations on eyes, they are considered to be both a surgical and medical specialty. The word ophthalmology comes from the Greek roots ophthalmos meaning eye and logos meaning word, thought or discourse; ophthalmology literally means "the science of eyes". Ophthalmic Research Training Services provides Clinical Research Training for this medical discipline.

Ophthalmologists are medical doctors (M.D.) or Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) who have completed a college degree, medical school, and an additional four years of postgraduate training in ophthalmology in many countries. Many ophthalmologists also undergo additional specialized training in one of the many subspecialities. Ophthalmology was the first branch of medicine to offer board certification, now a standard practice among all specialties. Ophthalmic Research Training Services provides Clinical Research Training for this medical discipline.

Principal Investigator - PI

A principal investigator (PI) is the lead scientist or engineer for a particular well-defined science (or other clinical research) project, such as a laboratory study or clinical trial.

In the context of federal funding from agencies such as the NIH or the NSF, the principal investigator (PI) is the person who takes direct responsibility for completion of a funded project, directing the research and reporting directly to the funding agency. For small projects (which might involve 1-5 people) the principal investigator is typically the person who conceived of the investigation, but for larger projects the PI may be selected by a team to obtain the best strategic advantage for the project.

In the context of a clinical trial a principal investigator (PI) may be an academic working with grants from NIH or other funding agencies, or may be effectively a contractor for a pharmaceutical company working on testing the safety and efficacy of new medicines.

A principal investigator (PI) involved in a clinical trial is responsible for ensuring that an investigation is conducted according to the signed clinical trial protocol statement, the investigational plan, and applicable regulations; for protecting the rights, safety, and welfare of subjects under the investigator's care; and for the control of drugs under investigation.

The principal investigator (PI) works at a clinical site which is a medical facility staffed with a medical professionals and qualified for performing clinical research. To be qualified as a clinical site, strict regulations are to be adhered to. The foundations for these regulations are defined by the International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) and regulatory authorities, which set the guidelines for good clinical practice (GCP) at clinical research sites.
