Research Institute Advisory Council
Support our Research
Your contributions play a crucial role in supporting researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital as they explore new and unproven pathways to discovery.
The Mass General Research Institute Advisory Council is a volunteer leadership group that provides philanthropic support, external perspectives and strategic advice to leaders of the hospital, its research community and its development office.
Utilizing their diverse experiences to play a critical role in advancing the Research Institute’s mission of guiding, supporting and promoting science at and beyond Mass General, Council members serve as ambassadors for the Research Institute’s top philanthropic priorities: the MGH Research Scholars program; Endowed MGH Research Institute Chairs; and The Longfellow Project, including the Bridging Academia and Industry educational program.
For more information, contact Kate Gutierrez, Senior Director of Development.
