Sponsor Types

Sponsorship at the HIT Lab comes from sources distributed throughout the healthcare sector. We believe that the careful implementation of thoughtfully-designed technologies benefits everyone — patients, providers, managers, advocates, legislators, and entrepreneurs.

Accordingly, the HIT Lab seeks support from pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms, from healthcare management and services companies, from governmental bodies, and from federal and private grantmakers. Irrespective of the source of support, our projects are always driven internally and our findings are the independent work of HIT Lab researchers alone.
