The Government of Manitoba has announced two important initiatives: A new clinical trials office to support health research and a new Research Improvements Through Harmonization in Manitoba (RITHIM) project that will be led by Research Manitoba. The new clinical trials office will make it easier and more efficient to conduct health research in MB, while RITHIM will improve capacity and efficiency for postsecondary researchers. “RITHIM is unique across Canada as the first program of its kind to harmonize ethics, privacy, and health institutional reviews,” said Research Manitoba Board of Directors Chair Andrea Legary.
