Mass General Research Institute Advisory Council

A volunteer leadership group that provides philanthropic support and strategic advice to hospital leaders, the Mass General research community and the Development Office.

Mass General Research Institute Advisory Council members utilize 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 education program.
