Society for Endocrinology - a world-leading authority on hormones

Society for Endocrinology Research Projects

Our UK-wide research and audit projects advance understanding and treatment of endocrine conditions through our network of contributing members based in regional centres.

The Society’s current areas of focus include projects to improve clinical endocrinology services and curating and signposting useful information.

Projects can be proposed by Society members to be considered by the Society’s Clinical Committee. To discuss the suitability of your project please email [email protected]

Please note that the Society is no longer able to support interventional or non-interventional multicentre randomised controlled trials.

Real World Studies registered on the NIHR Associate Principal Investigator (PI) Scheme

The NIHR Associate Principal Investigator (PI) Scheme is a national initiative designed to equip health and care professionals with the skills, experience, and confidence to become the research leaders of tomorrow. By taking part, individuals gain hands on experience in delivering high quality NIHR Portfolio studies while working closely with an experienced Local PI.

The Scheme not only develops future research leaders but also strengthens research culture at participating sites. Local PIs benefit from enhanced leadership and mentorship opportunities, improved study capacity, and stronger collaboration with national study teams.

Whether you are a clinician seeking your first steps in research or a site looking to build sustainable research capability, the Associate PI Scheme offers a supported, practical, and rewarding pathway into clinical research leadership.

The NSAT and PROMMIS studies are registered on the scheme. See the attachment for a summary of what it entails.
