2025 Website Update FAQs

The Health Research Alliance (HRA) website will be launching improved features over the next few months! These changes include:

  • Live now! Account self-management: Each organization can designate an account administrator for their HRA membership. This account administrator can edit organization profile information, access account invoicing information, and add/remove users affiliated with their organization’s HRA membership. All users have the ability to edit their individual user information.
  • Coming soon – Easy to navigate forums: HRA’s listservs will be converted to forums hosted on the HRA website! Forums will maintain what HRA members value about the listserv (easy way to communicate amongst members, ability to receive email notifications about new posts, membership-restricted posting and viewing privileges), and will make it much easier to search for and view old posts.
  • Coming soon – Consolidated access to HRA member benefits: One set of login credentials will provide access to multiple HRA member benefits, including member-to-member communication forums (formerly listservs), all members-only resources on the HRA website, and single-sign on access to HRA Analyzer!

How can I troubleshoot login issues?

Your username is your email address. Reset your password by clicking the “forgot password?” link beneath the login box at the top right of the website, and try logging in using your email address and your newly reset password.

Why do I have an HRA website account, even though I didn't have one previously?

HRA’s 2025 website updates include consolidating our email listserv subscriber list with the list of HRA website users; soon, the HRA listserv will be replaced by website-embedded discussion forums. Listserv subscribers will still be able to receive and respond to forum posts via email, but will need an HRA website account in order to do so. If you were previously a subscriber to the HRA listserv but did not have an HRA website account, we may have created a new account for you so your access to the listserv/forum is maintained.

Your HRA website account username is your email address. To get your password, click the “forgot password?” link beneath the login box at the top right of the website, and log in using your email address and your newly reset password.
