Note: Distribution of confidential and proprietary documents beyond the Hospital research team and others within Hospital/Mass General Brigham with a need to know is prohibited without prior written approval by Hospital and the third party involved.

Please contact one of the following:

Do I need to complete an Advanced Authorization for Directly Sponsored Events form for a meal that includes 5 or more people that I anticipate will exceed the maximum allowable amount of $65 per person?

Please Yes. The form must be filled out and reviewed by your RRA. Then, you will submit the form to Christopher Dunleavy, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at cdunleavy@partners.org for approval. Once approved, please include the approved Directly Sponsored Events form when submitting the eCheck request.

Can I purchase an item on my own and get reimbursed from my fringe account?

No. For purchases made on your behalf, a request must be sent to Radiology Finance with instructions to purchase that particular item. An e-mail request containing a link to that particular product should be sent to Adam Thompson in Radiology Finance. Purchases will be made through Mass General Brigham approved vendors. For examples of allowable items, please review the Radiology Research Fringe Account Policy. Any questions should be directed to Adam Thompson or your RRA.
