At the Mass General Research Institute in 2022, we witnessed a tremendous amount of collaboration, innovation, and discovery. With creativity and flexibility, our researchers were able to continue their crucial research into a vast amount of human diseases.
Here are some of the highlights from the year in research:
Clarivate Analytics’ Web of Science Group compiles an annual list of scientists around the globe who have demonstrated significant influence through publication of multiple highly cited papers that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and year.
In 2022, we were pleased to announce that 44 Mass General investigators made the list.
Each month we release a Snapshot of Science, a monthly digest of high impact papers in which a Mass General investigator is the first or last author.
In 2022, we highlighted over 350 high impact papers by Mass General researchers in the Snapshot of Science.
In 2022, Bench Press, the Mass General Research Institute blog, received over 85,000 views, with our most popular article, Researchers Call for New Studies to Learn How Our Brains Change When We’re Awake After Midnight, receiving over 26,000 views alone.
Our success is a direct reflection of the amazing research that takes place here and the investigators who generously made time to share their work with us. Thanks to everyone who helped make this possible!
The MGH Research Scholars program was started to provide forward-thinking researchers with the unrestricted funding they need to take their work into new and uncharted territories.
In 2022, we named five new scholars, bringing the total number of MGH Research Scholar awards to 74 since the program launched in 2011.
In 2022, the total research operations at Mass General totaled $1.3 billion.
As an academic medical center, a significant portion of research at Mass General is funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other federal institutions.
This year, Mass General researchers wrote and submitted 4,745 grant proposals.
Mass General once again ranked #1 in NIH funding for independent hospitals.
Research at Mass General often leads to new discoveries and inventions that could one day be translated into new treatments for patients.
In the 2022 fiscal year, Mass General researchers filed 1,272 applications for protection of intellectual property and received 468 patents.
The Mass General Executive Committee on Research (ECOR) facilitates communication among scientists, both within Mass General and with collaborators outside the hospital, and has become increasingly important in the current era of multidisciplinary, multi-institutional team science.
In 2022, ECOR awarded $11.3M to 102 investigators.
