The Minneapolis Medical Research Foundation (MMRF) operated as a nonprofit research organization focused on investigating disease causes and potential treatments within an academic medical setting. It oversaw and supported medical research at Hennepin County Medical Center in downtown Minneapolis, contributing to patient care and future health improvements through scientific inquiry. In August 2018, MMRF changed its name to Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute (HHRI), reflecting its connection to Hennepin Healthcare and its continuing role in clinical research and collaboration with other institutions. The organization is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and has historically been one of the larger medical research nonprofits in the state, serving researchers, clinicians, and patients involved in translational and clinical studies. A notable recent development includes HHRI’s ongoing collaboration and leadership changes within the organization, such as appointed roles overseeing training and mentoring, which signal a focus on capacity building and research training within the institute.
