“Research Manitoba plays a significant role through RITHIM to the harmonization of ethics, impact, and privacy needs of researchers that will lead to significant growth in clinical trials being done in Manitoba. Research Manitoba staff are committed to supporting research in Manitoba. It has been a privilege and honor for me to serve as Vice-Chair of its Board since its inception. On behalf of the University of Manitoba, and all the researchers who call our province home, I offer my sincerest gratitude to the Research Manitoba community.” Dr. Digvir S. Jayas, Past Vice-President (Research and International) and Distinguished, Professor of the University of Manitoba
