Savoirs partagés - Recherche CIUSSS NÎM

What Savoirs partagés - Recherche CIUSSS NÎM does

Savoirs partagés - Recherche CIUSSS NÎM is the research division of CIUSSS du Nord-de-l'Île-de-Montréal, a public integrated health and social services centre (CIUSSS) in Quebec, Canada. Operating from Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur-de-Montréal and Hôpital en santé mentale Rivière-des-Prairies, the center coordinates approximately 200 regular and associate researchers alongside 455 students, fellows, and postdoctoral researchers, executing more than 600 active research projects across three sectors: physical health, social research, and mental health. Core research portfolios span neuroscience and cognitive decline, autism spectrum disorders, sleep medicine (anchored by Centre d'études avancées en médecine du sommeil, CÉAMS), neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson's, Lewy body dementia), spinal cord injury and neurostimulation, autoimmune vasculitis, and pediatric health equity, supported by named chairs including the Chaire de recherche Marcel et Rolande Gosselin and the Canada Research Chair on Cognitive Decline in Pathological Aging.

The center's technology base consists of clinical and neuroscience research infrastructure (neuroimaging, neuropsychology, sleep medicine methodologies, spinal cord injury models, autism research methodologies) rather than commercial software products. There is no proprietary product line, no disclosed AI/ML platform, no patents or trademarks, and no mobile or web applications; the center publishes knowledge-transfer assets including 17+ issues of the 'Sur le spectre' autism research magazine and an associated podcast, and runs training programs such as the École d'été sur le sommeil and the Journée annuelle de la recherche.

The revenue model is entirely public: the center is funded through Quebec Ministry of Health and Social Services (MSSS) institutional allocations routed via the parent CIUSSS, plus competitive research grants from provincial (FRQS, FRQNT, FRQSC) and federal (CIHR/IRSC, CRSNG) agencies, and philanthropic contributions from two affiliated hospital foundations (Fondation de l'Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur de Montréal, Fondation les petits trésors santé mentale et autisme). It serves researchers, clinicians, trainees, and patient communities within the CIUSSS network and its academic partners (Université de Montréal, UQAM, McGill, CHU Sainte-Justine), with no commercial pricing or product monetization.
