At CARIMER, our top priority is clinical research, unlike at many academic center and bureaucracies. This makes our site initiation unusually accelerated.  Our coordinators are readily available to assist you in site feasibility, regulatory and budget documents, Ethical Review Board (ERB) and Ministry of Health (MOH) material, and arranging a site qualification visit.  We are more than willing to help you prepare for and arrange travel to each of our unique locations.

  »The islands of the Caribbean are an untapped population of nearly forty million citizens. 

  »One major advantage of North and South American companies doing research in the Caribbean is our similar time zone.  This allows for faster communication and regular staffing hours. 

   »The Caribbean is travel accessible.  Over 30 airports in the Caribbean serve more than 100,000 travelers respectively each year, and there are many smaller airports as well. 

   »Our doctors and lab technicians have experience with shipping samples to the United States for testing and are aware of shipping policies for tissue and blood samples.  Our staff is familiar with using a central laboratory.
