agree  Cilian O'Tuama: in clinical trials Prüfarzt is "investigator" and Leiter der klin. Prüfung (LKP) is the "principal investigator"

agree  Ian M-H: with Cilian - Prüfarzt if it's a doctor and the "study" is clearly clinical

If the investigator is medically qualified and the agreement is about clinical trials, then Ingrid, Cilian and griebler are correct: Prüfarzt (or Leiter d.k. Prüfung).

If the agreement is more generally worded - if it only is only being applied to a medical setting in this particular case but is also used for research in chemistry or astrophysics, for example, or if the research is medical but not necessarily carried out by doctors - then I\'d still suggest \"Forscher\".

agree  BrigitteHilgner: Rein gefühlsmäßig tendiere ich zu "Versuchsleiter", aber es geht aus dem Zusammenhang wirklich nicht deutlich hervor, dass der "Leiter" gemeint ist. "Forscher" ist sicherlich das 'neutralere' passende Wort.

  -> Danke. Wenn es der Zusammenhang erlaubt, wäre ich auch für "Versuchsleiter" - Daniela wird's wissen!
neutral  Ingrid Blank: @Brigitte: there is a distinct difference between a Prüfer and a Forscher (researcher)
