Conduct research the way that fits your practice.
Three ways for physicians and APPs to partner with DM: join one of our dedicated research sites, start an embedded site inside your own practice, or refer patients as a partner investigator. Every route comes with DM coordinators, regulatory, recruitment and quality behind it.
One that fits how you already practice.
Dedicated site investigators
Join one of our dedicated research sites as a Principal or sub-investigator. Full-time research, purpose-built space, and a coordinator team already in place. This is where our largest group of investigators sits and where most of our openings are.
Embedded site investigators
Start a research site inside your established clinical practice. You keep your patients and your practice, and DM builds the research operation around you.
Referring Partner investigators
Keep treating your patients while DM runs coordination, compliance and recruitment. You refer; we operate. See the Preferred Partnership Program →
You bring clinical judgment. We bring everything else.
Full site infrastructure
Coordinators, regulatory, equipment, monitoring space, and recruitment, built and staffed.
Regulatory & IRB
Submission, document control, and 21 CFR Part 11 systems handled by a dedicated team.
Patient recruitment
A 1.97M+ database and 130 patient enrollment specialists fill your studies, enrollment is our job.
Quality system
The same SOPs and quality discipline behind the network's quality record.
Business development
A dedicated BD team finds the studies and brings sponsor opportunities to your site, so you are not chasing protocols yourself.
Marketing
We promote our investigators and their sites through social media, conferences and campaigns, so your research profile grows alongside your practice.
Research income and access, without the operational burden.
New revenue stream
Add research to your practice without hiring coordinators or building regulatory capacity.
