HRA MEMBERS
The Health Research Alliance, a collaborative member organization of nonprofit research funders, is committed to maximizing the impact of biomedical research to improve human health.
Once again, HRA and HRA member organizations were challenged with uncertainty and anxiety about what we should be doing in the “here and now,” but also how to prepare for the future. But once again, we all rose to the challenge. Thank you for your support and we look forward to working with you in 2022 to further increase the impact of funding for biomedical research.
