Healthy Volunteers Alliance (HVA) has made the difficult decision to close the organization.
HVA was created to provide healthy clinical research volunteers with independent education, resources, advocacy, and a voice within the clinical research system. Considerable time, effort, and personal financial resources have been invested in building HVA and developing resources for the healthy volunteer community.
Unfortunately, despite extensive efforts to secure sustainable funding, build meaningful collaborations, and encourage greater participant involvement, HVA has not been able to obtain the financial support or level of engagement necessary to sustain the organization and its mission long-term.
This decision does not change HVA’s belief that healthy volunteers deserve greater representation, transparency, education, protections, and meaningful opportunities to have their concerns heard within the clinical research system.
As part of the closing process, HVA’s educational and resource pages have now been removed from public access. The website will remain online temporarily with this announcement while the remaining steps necessary to close the organization are completed.
I am extremely grateful to everyone who supported HVA, contributed to its work, shared its resources, participated in its efforts, or believed in its mission.
Although Healthy Volunteers Alliance is coming to an end, I sincerely hope that the need for greater education, transparency, advocacy, and meaningful representation for healthy clinical research volunteers will continue to receive the attention it deserves.
Thank you to everyone who has supported Healthy Volunteers Alliance and its mission.
