Minnesota Physician | Principal Investigator Opportunity

Company

Razi Research Partners is a Twin Cities based clinical research LLC focused on helping local physicians bring clinical trials into their existing clinics. We partner with independent and community based medical practices to make clinical research more accessible for patients while reducing the administrative burden for physicians. Our team supports the research operations, including study coordination, regulatory documentation, sponsor communication, patient recruitment support, study workflow management, and day to day trial administration. Our goal is to help physicians offer appropriate patients access to research opportunities that may otherwise be unavailable in their community

Job

Razi Research Partners is seeking a physician who owns, leads, or practices within a Minnesota clinic with access to a patient population and appropriate space to support clinical research activities.

This is a 1099 independent contractor opportunity structured as a clinical research partnership. This opportunity is designed for physicians who are interested in offering clinical trial access to their patients without building a research program from scratch. Razi Research Partners supports study coordination, regulatory documentation, sponsor communication, recruitment support, monitor visit coordination, and day to day research operations. The physician’s primary role is to provide medical oversight, support participant safety, review eligibility and study related clinical information, and ensure appropriate PI oversight in accordance with the protocol, GCP, IRB requirements, and applicable regulations.

Clinic Fit

Ideal physician partners have access to an existing patient population through a private or community-based clinic. Independent practices, physician owned clinics, and clinics with flexibility to support research activities are strongly preferred.

Compensation

This is a 1099 contract opportunity. Compensation is study dependent and based on protocol required physician oversight, study activity, sponsor approved budget, fair market value considerations, and mutually agreed contract terms. Compensation is not intended as payment for patient referrals or enrollment. Details will be discussed during the introductory conversation with Razi Research Partners.
