Health Research Alliance (HRA) launches new platform for open science in partnership with the National Library of Medicine powered by Figshare and Dimensions

The Health Research Alliance today announced a new application called “ HRA Open” powered by Figshare, a cloud-based repository for academic research.

HRA Open is an HRA-sponsored web-based service that promotes open science by providing a space for awardees to upload and share other materials related to funded projects, including figures, datasets, presentations, and other funder approved research outputs. In addition to being able to deposit publications into PubMed Central (PMC), awardees can search the database of grants and awards for their awarded funding and submit their research outputs under that grant.

HRA has partnered with The National Library of Medicine (NLM) to enable HRA member-funded awardees to deposit their publications into PMC using the HRA Open platform. Links that have been made between awards from HRA member organizations and their awardees are provided to the NLM to facilitate open and public access of awardees publications and research outputs.
