Supporting MGH’s Leading Investigators During the Most Productive Periods of Their Careers
MGH Research Institute Endowed Chairs
The gift establishes four endowed MGH Research Institute chairs. These unique chairs are symbols of cross-institutional innovation and excellence. These chairs are not tied to a single department and are awarded to outstanding investigators whose work and collaborations often cut across Mass General’s many departments and centers. This prestigious, permanently funded honor provides a reliable and sustainable reservoir of support for the pioneering work of Mass General’s leading scientists during the most productive period of their careers.

“The creation of the Rappaport Endowed MGH Research Institute Chairs is a powerful investment in the future of science and medicine that will help patients worldwide. These chairs will honor and support some of our most accomplished investigators, leaders whose work is advancing discovery and improving care for patients everywhere. We are profoundly grateful to The Phyllis & Jerome Lyle Rappaport Foundation for recognizing the importance of sustained, visionary support for research excellence.”
