Funding is always needed for CIMIT’s programs and services. At the heart of all this science is the generosity of CIMIT's donors. Your gifts to CIMIT help to create new solutions for old problems — health care problems we want to assign to history once and for all.
Your generosity supports:
CIMIT provides innovators with resources to explore, develop and implement novel technological solutions for today’s most urgent healthcare problems. CIMIT's Science Programs offer an insider’s view of the future of medicine – where and how technology has the potential to transform healthcare in the not-too-distant future. Learn more about our
Science Programs.
CIMIT offers support for graduate engineering students to work in highly innovative yet classically under-funded areas of healthcare research, and gives awards to outstanding clinicians,
early in their careers, who are engaged in the development of breakthrough medical devices and technologies. Learn more about our
Grants, Awards and Prizes.
Industry, foundation and individual grants or sponsorships also make numerous educational events possible throughout the year. These events include conferences, symposia and courses that foster relationships with ever-expanding audiences. Whether you’re interested in one aspect of CIMIT’s work and want to contribute to a specific area, or want to offer broader support for this innovative work, we hope you will support CIMIT's mission.
The tendency for junior surgery faculty is to become heavily loaded with clinical care responsibilities, and put their research interests on the back burner. The Young Clinician funding enabled me to set aside time to focus on device development, and I look forward to several future projects building on the success of this work.
