Publication Academy, Inc. introduced their custom online curricula that has been used to train HRA member Templeton World Charity Foundation (TWCF) staff and grantees in evidence-based practices to effectively communicate with these five stakeholder groups. At TWCF, implementation of these practices resulted in in an increased dissemination speed and an increase in the number of publications produced. Webinar registrants received... read more →
For data sharing to work, we need workflows, tools, and services to work in a seamless and interconnected way. This webinar began to identify the components and envision how we can assemble them into reliable, end-to-end solutions for funders. We heard from Jennifer Kemp, Stratos, about the broad landscape of infrastructures and related services. The speakers included Dryad, a widely-trusted data curation and repository service, DataCite, a global community that makes scholarly resources connected and available for reuse through persistent identifiers, and Make Data Count (MDC) which is a global, community-led initiative focused on the development of open research data... read more →
The HRA Program Evaluation Community co-chairs were excited to have Amy Dworkin and Kari Wojtanik from Susan G. Komen present on learnings from the launch of their Komen Product Tracking System to HRA members. Attendees heard about the development of this tracker, findings since launching it, lessons learned, and were able to ask questions. Learn more about the tracker through their recent publication.
The NIH has issued a Data Management and Sharing (DMS) policy effective January 25, 2023, to promote the sharing of scientific data. One of the ultimate benefits of sharing scientific data, is to facilitate the development of treatments and products that improve human health. If you are interested in implementing your own data sharing policy and understand how to implement and track, this webinar is for you. We walked through elements of robust data sharing policies, best practices, and monitoring and discuss which of these make sense for specific organizations to advance your own missions as well as ways to monitor compliance and... read more →
How can organizations measure and understand the impact of their research programs? What can online tools offer to automate or streamline evaluation processes to provide insights into research investments? In this session, we hope to fill HRA Members’ toolboxes with options (including free and subscription-based tools) for nimble research impact analysis. From perspectives on how the NIH measures impact and develops publicly available tools, to using ORCID to track grantee outputs, to other ways in which HRA member organizations measure and assess impact, we will learn about evaluation and tools that can help members to automate or streamline their processes.... read more →
The Program Evaluation Community held a call to learn more about the value of logic models in both designing programs and measuring impact. Attendees came prepared to share their own challenges and success and used this opportunity to pose questions to HRA colleagues. Questions addressed: What are the metrics you use to measure success of an early career award? What are short term outcomes that can point to success of an award to foster drug development? How do you collect these metrics?
Tracking Researchers Public Access Post-Award: Funded researchers are required to submit, or have submitted for them, to the National Institutes of Health’s Pub Med Central database an electronic version of the author’s final manuscript including all modifications resulting from the publishing and peer review process (the “postprint”) upon acceptance for publication, to be made publicly available no later than 12 months after the official date of publication. This requirement applies to all publications related to funded research grants whether the research was funded in whole or in part. All scientific progress reports must include the PMC ID number (PMCnnnnn) for... read more →
COVID-19 Impact on Biomedical Research Funding Organizations A Survey of the Health Research Alliance Membership The COVID-19 pandemic has and continues to create a disruptive and measurable imprint on nonprofit organizations. In addition to disrupting the health and safety of the workforce, the pandemic challenges the fundamental ways nonprofits are meeting their organizational missions. The Health Research Alliance (HRA) is a collaborative membership of over 100 nonprofit biomedical research funding organizations. We are committed to maximizing the impact of biomedical research to improve human health and we work collaboratively to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery. We work... read more →
