Can a basic scientist be the PI of a clinical project?
A clinical project may have a basic scientist as the PI and a clinician as Co-Investigator, e.g., this arrangement is appropriate for a project concerning the evaluation of noninvasive technology to detect pulmonary hypertension. Please note, however, that the announcement (Section III, 3. Other-Special Eligibility Criteria, Item 10) indicates that leaders of clinical projects should have experience in clinical research as defined above.
