Clinical Trials

CIMIT does not support drug development, information technology-centric projects, basic research, or clinical trials. However, many of our Consortium Institutions do conduct clinical trials. Over 1,000 active clinical trials are in progress across Partners institutions.

To learn more, access the Clinical Research Network (CRnet), a collaborative clinical research site that identifies advanced clinical research and trials taking place at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, McLean Hospital, and Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital Network.
