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 →

If you are not happy with the results below please do another searchHow 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 →
HRA Open is a platform that enables HRA member awardees to upload and share publications into PubMed Central (PMC) via the NIH Manuscript Submission system (NIHMS) – just as if they were funded by the NIH! Awardees are also encouraged to share ALL research outputs via Figshare. The HRA Open Platform creates linkages between grants, articles, and research outputs. If you have or would like to have an open access policy, HRA Open can facilitate that – and it’s FREE for HRA members. The NIHMS system facilitates the submission process of peer-reviewed manuscripts for inclusion in PubMed Central in compliance... read more →
Is “Open Science” just the latest fad or is it really an important tool to advance discovery? If you are unsure, OR if you sincerely believe open science can advance discovery but need help implementing policies to facilitate open science, the EVO program is for you. HRA’s Open Science Community is sponsoring a one-year Exploring the Value of Open (EVO) Program with monthly webinar sessions, discussion groups, and opportunities to explore whether open science policies, compliance tools, and metrics are appropriate for your organization, and can help achieve your mission. September 8th, 3-4 PM ET: EVO... read more →

The 2010 to 2019 Grantmaking Report for HRA Members Only provides HRA Analyzer data from 2010 to 2019. Member compliance with data reporting varies year to year. During the 10 years analyzed in this report, 77% of member organizations entered some data, but only only 50% of members submitted data consistently. Unfortunately, 40% of awardee information on gender was missing and 54% of the information on race/ethnicity was missing. Providing data for fields like awardee career stage, gender, and race/ethnicity will help HRA and... read more →
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 →
Global grantmaking is the option for philanthropic efforts by organizations and nonprofits to expand its reach and impact on an international level to encourage and promote research efforts within the international community. With these efforts, there are many approaches and considerations that must be taken into account to ensure proper dissemination of the RFAs, a uniform application process, an unbiased review process, seamless disbursement of payments, and an emphasis on accountability and outcomes. What are the benefits of global grantmaking in the biomedical research space? The research community is largely collaborative and spans borders; the research efforts of publishing and... read more →
A grant review committee is a group of people assembled to review grant proposals and make decisions on awards for a grant program. Grant review committees can vary in size, expertise, and time demands depending on the grantmaker and the grant program. The grant review committee’s role is to objectively evaluate all grant applications, and collaboratively make smart recommendations regarding funding to maximize impact. Running a grant review committee: Best practices (from Submittable) Clarifying the process - This should include defining the objectives, outlining the review process, and determining the timeline.
