Sponsored Staff

Sponsored Staff

Sponsored Staff are receiving their salary from sources other than the hospital. Sponsored Staff are categorized as sponsored employees or as collaborators.

Sponsored employees are functioning as employees of the hospital but are receiving their salary directly from an external source, such as a foundation or academic institution, for the work they are performing at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH).

Collaborators are actively employed by and receive a salary from another academic institution, company or government for the work they are performing at BWH.

All Sponsored Staff must attend a New Sponsored Staff Orientation (NSSO), submit to a CORI check and be cleared through Occupational Health prior to obtaining a hospital id badge.
