CIMIT Connections: Who Can Help
Site Miners
CIMIT Site Miners are a critical element in how the consortium identifies and connects clinical champions with scientists and technologies. Site Miners are well-established professionals on the staff or faculty of the CIMIT Member institutions (the "Site"). These individuals serve as a liaison between the Site and the CIMIT Consortium.
Program Leaders
Program Leaders are charged with cultivating investigators, nurturing and managing Science Program activities and sharing and disseminating the results.
Facilitation Leaders
CIMIT Facilitation Leaders are a core staff of experts to coach, support, and network project leaders in ways that facilitate their ultimate success and help achieve real clinical impact.
The CIMIT Blog
CIMIT Grants support early stage, collaborative research projects for improving patient care, with emphasis on devices, procedures, diagnosis, and clinical systems. To be considered for a CIMIT Grant, a proposal must present a collaborative, multi-disciplinary plan of work that specifically advances the likelihood that a new concept will yield benefit in the healthcare setting. CIMIT values proposals by teams that reach across Consortium institutions and whose novel ideas may create technologies that can benefit several medical disciplines.
