The Centre for Innovative Medicine (CIM) provides the infrastructure to support researchers and industry partners in the design, initiation, conduct and reporting of interdisciplinary clinical research studies. It also offers partnerships for industry-sponsored studies, offering either full-service execution of MUHC studies or à la carte service. 

There are many ways for researchers and partners to benefit from the CIM's services:

• It offers highly qualified staff working part-time or full-time on MUHC studies.
   
• Researchers can rely on the CIM to manage resources, training, continuing education, equipment compliance and overall operations.
   
• The CIM services decrease staff turnover due to research cycle.
   
• The CIM allows researchers to focus on science and patient safety instead of on daily operations and project management.
   
• It allows researchers to conduct more studies.
   
• It ensures there is no competition with the clinic facilities (dedicated research technical/imaging platform).
   
• The CIM assists in matching researchers with industry studies.
   
• The CIM's quality control team conducts internal audits to ensure regulatory compliance.
