Center for Integration of Medicine & Innovative Technology

A non-profit consortium of Boston's leading teaching hospitals and universities, CIMIT fosters interdisciplinary collaboration among world-class experts in translational research, medicine, science and engineering, in concert with industry, foundations and government, to rapidly improve patient care. CIMIT seeks out and identifies entrepreneurial clinicians and engineers from among the over 40,000 doctors and 20,000 technologists who work at the CIMIT consortium institutions. CIMIT provides innovators with resources to explore, develop and implement novel technological solutions for today's most urgent healthcare problems. CIMIT grants and awards support early stage, collaborative research projects for improving patient care, with emphasis on devices, procedures, diagnosis, and the delivery of healthcare. The CIMIT Accelerator grants are focused on innovations that have a reasonable chance of being handed off to industry within 12 to 18 months.
