“CIMIT is a one-of-a-kind, world-class technology development program. Its many strengths include the vision and exceptional quality of its leadership; the strong support it receives from the clinical, scientific and engineering communities; its willingness to explore innovative technologies; and the exceptional track records and current research activities of its participants. CIMIT leadership recognizes that interaction among disciplines stimulates creativity and leads to innovative solutions to medical challenges.”

"Solving difficult health care problems requires timely decision-making and flexible funds to respond in real-time to real events. The CIMIT fund is vital because it supplies CIMIT's leaders with the necessary unrestricted resources to continue bringing innovation to healthcare."
