Description: CIMIT, the Center for Integration of Medicine and Innovative Technology, is a multi-institutional organization committed to getting physicians, scientists, and engineers to work together on the development of medical technology. Founded in 1994 as an interdisciplinary entity devoted to the development of medical devices, this organization recruits its members from four distinguished institutions: the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Brigham and Women‘s Hospital (BWH), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the Draper Laboratories. Rooted in a content analysis of seven interviews with CIMIT members, this paper examines organizational features that allow CIMIT to be successful in its pursuit, the nature of the collaborations that it promotes and supports, and the type of researchers who excel within its mission. The paper considers three questions: How does CIMIT support its researchers to bridge institutional and disciplinary distances? How are interdisciplinary collaborations established? What kind of researcher is attracted to these interdisciplinary and inter-institutional ventures?
