The CIMIT Prize for Primary Healthcare is a national competition open to graduate and undergraduate engineering students from accredited engineering programs. It calls for technologic innovations with the greatest potential to support and catalyze improved delivery of healthcare at the frontlines of medicine. The top three student entrants (individuals or teams) will receive $150,000, $100,000 and $50,000, respectively*, to help advance their winning clinically-relevant, primary care solutions. CIMIT’s goal in offering these major awards is to encourage engineering students to develop technological innovations that have great potential to enhance delivery of primary healthcare. Student collaboration and team submissions are strongly encouraged.
