Effective April 1, 2025: Updated FY'25 Service Fees
Posted on March 14, 2025
Dear Core Users:
We were initially able to hold off increasing prices for many of our services at the beginning of FY'25. Due to rising operating costs though, it is necessary to implement increases at this time. After consultation with MGB Research Finance Management, our updated FY'25 service fee structure has now been finalized and will go into effect as of April 1, 2025.
These fees support our continuous process improvement efforts and the implementation of additional and/or improved service features. The changes are mandated by Mass General Brigham policies, which dictate that cores recover their operating costs without generating excess revenue.
All orders that begin processing in March but complete on or after April 1, 2025, will be invoiced at current FY'25 pricing. Orders that are placed close to the end of March but are not processed before April 1, 2025, will be invoiced according to the updated FY'25 pricing structure.
We appreciate your past patronage and look forward to serving your future research needs.
Sincerely,
The CCIB DNA Core Team
