Health Research Alliance members:
The April HRA Members' Meeting at the Liberty Hotel in Boston on April 12-13 was fantastic. Many thanks to our gracious co-hosts: The Donaghue Foundation, the New York Stem Cell Foundation and The Medical Foundation, a division of Health Resources in Action. Slides from the sessions and notes from the joint working group meetings have now been posted on the Member Meetings & News page, along with the background materials posted before the meeting.
Health Research Alliance members: It is not too early to mark your calendars for the fall, 2012 Members' Meeting! The meeting has been scheduled for September 6-7, 2012, and will be hosted by The Foundation for the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland.
