The Recovery Research Institute is a nonprofit research organization affiliated with Massachusetts General Hospital, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, based in Boston. Established in 2012 under Dr. John F. Kelly, its aim is to increase the public health impact of addiction recovery science through the summary, synthesis, dissemination of findings, and the conduct of original research. It focuses on understanding how individuals achieve remission and sustain long-term recovery in the context of broader public health harms related to substance use disorders. A central activity is the Recovery Bulletin, a free electronic publication that provides contextualized summaries and syntheses of the latest research in addiction treatment and recovery and reaches more than 20,000 readers monthly. The institute also serves as a teaching and training center for promising addiction researchers, funding 2-3 post-doctoral fellows each year.
