The Future of Research at Baystate is Bright

Last year, research funding of $14+ million included $9.5 million in federal funds.

  • But as an academic teaching hospital—the regional campus of the University of Massachusetts Medical School—Baystate’s size and clinical excellence put it in an excellent position to grow its research program.
  • Internal grants provide financial support or protected time, mentoring, statistical consulting services, and grant-writing assistance to investigators to spur an increased number of competitive proposals submitted for external research funding.
