At the Brigham Research Institute, we meet research challenges. Our focus shifts as medicine shifts in new and innovative ways. During the pandemic, the BRI provided extensive support for the Mass General Brigham Center for COVID Innovation. These groups have provided researchers with the resources for collaboration, networking, and science communication over the past 15 years.  They have also supported researchers through funding ranging from $500 Microgrants, currently accepting applications on a rolling basis, all the way up to the $500,000 BRI Director’s Transformative Award in 2017, workshops, poster sessions, seminar series and research symposia. These interdisciplinary and interdepartmental research opportunities spark innovation, collaboration and community.
