Participate in research

Help our researchers make the next breakthrough

We have many projects across a wide range of health areas at Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI) that are looking for research study volunteers.

At HMRI, our researchers are translating new discoveries into better patient care for our communities. An important part of research is testing new treatments, interventions, and generating data through various clinical trials and research studies.

What you know, how your unique brain and body works, and your ideas can help us make discoveries and design new treatments.

From filling out surveys to sharing your insights, donating blood, or taking part in a new health program, we invite you to participate in our research studies so that together, we can achieve better health outcomes for all.

Join a research study

Our researchers are always looking for volunteers to take part in their research studies. Take part in a real-life research study today.

Take part to access emerging research treatments

Those who participate in clinical trials and research studies are often the first to access and benefit from new and emerging treatments across a range of health areas.

Our research studies and clinical trials cover a wide range of health and disease areas including stroke, cancer, asthma and more.

You can volunteer for different studies if you’re healthy, or if you’ve been diagnosed with one or more medical conditions.

Help our researchers take healthy further

Every research project at HMRI has the goal of transforming the health and wellbeing of our communities. Community participation in our research is crucial to finding new cures, discovering new breakthroughs, and improving health outcomes for all.

Your participation helps people in our community living with a health condition or illness take one step closer to a new or improved treatment.

Help once, sometimes or often!

You choose what you’d like to get involved in. You may like to do one particular study or volunteer for a study that continues over months or years.

Every study is different. Some may be a quick phone call or a survey. Others might ask you to donate blood. Some may give you access to a multi-week food program.

The choice is yours and you can always leave at any time.
