ROYAL HOBART HOSPITAL RESEARCH FOUNDATION INC

Local medical research saves lives

The Research Foundation is an independent entity, raising funds for local health and medical research in Tasmania.

Since establishment in 1997, through the generosity of the community, the Foundation has invested over $8m in funding for research that is of particular relevance to diseases and disorders which per capita are more prevalent in Tasmania.

Several current and recent research projects include investigation into various forms of cancer, Cystic Fibrosis, asthma, diabetes, Jack Jumper research, Vitamin D, oxygenation of pre term infants and predicting recovery following brain trauma to name just a few. The RHH Research Foundation has also appointed eight post-doctoral research fellows to undertake significant investigations into conditions including Parkinson’s disease, Cystic Fibrosis, general respiratory disease, haematology and Multiple Sclerosis on a full time basis.

As an independent entity, the Foundation relies on the corporate and general communities for its fundraising.
