About Envoy Clinical Research
Envoy Clinical Research is a Dallas/Fort Worth-based clinical research organization (CRO) on a mission to close the distance between where medicine is going and the people who can't afford to wait for it to arrive. We partner with community physicians and care providers to bring FDA-regulated clinical trials directly into their existing practices — at no cost, with no disruption to clinical workflow, and with full operational support provided by our embedded research team.
We are messengers that the gap is shortening — and we are looking for physician partners who share that belief.
The Opportunity
We are seeking licensed physicians and qualified care providers in the DFW Metroplex area to serve as Investigators (PIs) on FDA-regulated clinical trials embedded directly within their practice. This is not a traditional employment opportunity — it is a practice partnership that generates meaningful supplemental revenue while giving your patients access to investigational therapies they may not otherwise reach.
Envoy handles everything. You provide the medical expertise and patient relationships you've already built.
What You'll Do as a Principal Investigator/Investigator
- Serve as the physician of record on FDA-regulated clinical trials across your specialty area
- Review patient eligibility and provide medical oversight of enrolled trial participants
- Participate in trial-related medical decision-making in accordance with the approved protocol
- Collaborate with Envoy's embedded research coordinator — who manages all day-to-day study operations on your behalf
- Attend brief investigator meetings and required GCP training (provided by Envoy at no cost)
- Maintain the standard of care your patients already trust and expect
Time commitment: Approximately 6–10 hours per week at your current practice during study start-up, decreasing significantly once enrollment is underway.
What Envoy Provides — Fully, At No Cost to Your Practice
✔ An embedded, fully trained research coordinator placed within your practice ✔ All regulatory, IRB, and sponsor documentation — managed end to end ✔ Patient recruitment, screening, scheduling, and retention support ✔ GCP training and ongoing competency development for your team ✔ Audit readiness, quality oversight, and compliance management ✔ Community engagement and diverse patient outreach ✔ 100% FDA and sponsor audit success — zero Form 483s or VAIs, ever
Revenue Potential
Most new research sites generate $75,000 – $150,000 per clinical trial, depending on the therapeutic area and enrollment volume. There is no upfront investment required from you or your practice. Revenue is generated through study participation fees paid directly by the pharmaceutical sponsor.
Who We're Looking For
You may be an ideal PI partner if you are:
- A licensed MD or DO actively practicing in the DFW, and surrounding areas
- A physician in any specialty, including but not limited to: Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Endocrinology, Cardiology, Psychiatry, Neurology, Gastroenterology, Pulmonology, Oncology, OB/GYN, Orthopedics, Pain Management, Pediatrics, or Dermatology
- An independent or private practice physician, group practice, or FQHC provider
- Open to bringing investigational therapies to your patient panel as a legitimate care option
- Committed to ethical, inclusive, and community-centered clinical research
No prior clinical research experience is required. Envoy provides all training, infrastructure, and support — we build the capability around you.
