The 2021 Strategic Plan was developed to enhance HRA’s value to HRA member organizations. The strategies that the Strategic Planning committee recommended to achieve those goals were the result of much input from the membership. These are designed to increase HRA members’ ability (directly or indirectly) to enhance the impact of their investment in research, and by doing so achieve HRA’s mission.
Acknowledging that there are more activities recommended than can be accomplished with existing HRA resources, an implementation framework was created to guide HRA staff, leadership, and membership in prioritizing. The plan is flexible to be able to adapt to changing circumstances. One of the first tasks was to designate a team to evaluate HRA’s progress toward these goals (see the Strategic Planning Evaluation Committee roster below).
In February 2023, after input from the Strategic Plan Evaluation Committee and the Board of Directors, the Strategic Plan was updated and a draft presented to the membership for feedback.
If you have comments or suggestions about the Strategic Plan (about what may be missing, what you think is high priority or anything else!) please email [email protected]. Your feedback is always much appreciated!
