In 2010, HMRI and the Newcastle Jets formed a strategic partnership improve the communty's health, and to help showcase the work of HMRI on the national stage.
During the 2010/11 Hyundai A-League Season, the Jets displayed the HMRI logo on the front of their playing strip, and also donated to HMRI for every goal scored by the team. The money raised during this campaign is has been directed to a groundbreaking research project with direct health impacts on the community.
This partnership is strengthened by the many synergies between football and medical research.
HMRI’s research is funded through community donations and our discoveries are directly improving the community’s health, and the active lifestyle message the Jets send to the community compliments HMRI’s research into areas such as obesity, asthma, cardiovascular health and mental health.
