Best & Brightest Corporate Program
Best & Brightest is the Foundation’s innovative Corporate Partnership Program. Meet the Foundation’s Best & Brightest Partners – companies that support the Foundation and help us to deliver our research results.
What is Best & Brightest?
Best & Brightest is a great way for your company to get involved with the St George Medical Research Foundation – it’s innovative, inclusive and fun. Essentially it allows companies to support or “sponsor” bright young (and not so young) researchers in their invaluable work. These researchers – the Brightest – are typically studying for PhD or equivalent level, research based qualifications – usually leading to a career in medicine or nursing or similar. The research that they do is always valuable, meaningful, supervised and peer-reviewed work – research that can have a dramatic impact on a specific disease or illness.
Through the Best & Brightest program the company “adopts” a researcher and in doing so becomes a Best & Brightest Partner.
Best & Brightest Partnership
A Best & Brightest Partnership is a great way for a company to really make a difference in medical research – and in the on-going search for cures for numerous diseases.
Through Best & Brightest companies are given an insight into the work of the researcher that they “adopt” – through presentations at management meetings, staff meetings and round table discussions. The company receives a bi-annual B&B Report from their researcher with an update on milestones and progress.
