Every foundation has the ultimate purpose of delivering benefits to communities, but they all do it differently. In the case of the National Foundation for Medical Research and Innovation (NFMRI), they support hospitals and research institutions’ studies that may lead to new products, drugs, devices, diagnostics, vaccines, and others. They’re also helping hospitals and institutions to connect their discoveries with their potential next step partners.
