HRA Now

Last updated on 13 Sep 2024

HRA Now, our operational bulletin, keeps you up-to-date with the latest operational news and developments from across the organisation. HRA Now is aimed at those working in and supporting the set up and delivery of research, from applicants and sponsors through to delivery teams.

Each HRA Now is dedicated to a specific topic indicated in the subject header allowing the recipient to read or immediately discard. As this is an operational bulletin, there is no fixed schedule for publication. HRA Now is distributed when we need to inform our audience of changes or developments.
