The initial formation of HNR as a collaborative unit represented a new concept for delivering research performed by the MRC. This remit was set in recognition, primarily, of the importance of involving the main targeted beneficiaries as partners in research projects and, secondly, of the effectiveness of financial and scientific collaboration of multidisciplinary scientific endeavour, with expertise and resources shared in the pursuit of the mutual aim and objective of developing improvements in human health. Although no longer a collaborative centre, HNR has maintained the principle of working in collaboration with others so to maximise our research and its impact.
