• You will only be able to post to listserv channels to which you are subscribed. You must be an HRA member to make a post to any of the listserv channels.
• Send your message to the appropriate listserv channel email address directly from your email client, exactly as you’d like it to appear in subscribers’ inboxes (see the ‘HRA Listserv Channel’ section above for the email addresses for each channel).
• Upon successfully sending your message to the listserv, you’ll receive a confirmation email with the subject line ‘Message distribution: Forwarded’ confirming that your message is awaiting moderator review.
• All posts are reviewed by a human moderator before they are released for distribution, so your message may not go out immediately.
• Upon moderator approval, your message will be distributed via email to all subscribers of that listserv channel.

• NO SOLICITING: Solicitation for funds for organizations and/or individuals is not permitted.
• NO LOBBYING: Messages that encourage lobbying for specific legislation or advocating for specific political candidates are not permitted. However, providing information on legislation related to health research and training, without advocating specific action, is acceptable
• NO ANNOUNCEMENTS OF FUNDRAISING EVENTS.

Survey Distribution:

For HRA to approve use of the listserv for survey distribution, there are two rules.

1. The analysis must be of value to a significant percentage of HRA member organizations.
2. You must be willing to make the data and analysis available to HRA members and you must be clear how you will do that in the post.

We recommend that when posting to the listserv, you include the following:

• A deadline for submitting responses
• A date by which the response information will be made available to HRA members, and how that will happen. For instance, you can add something like “The survey will be open through May 31, and information will be compiled and distributed in aggregate via the listserv and in the Resources section of the HRA website by June 15.”

Information can be shared with the membership in at least two ways.

• Ideally, you would provide access to data and analysis to all HRA members and the broader community in a form that can be posted on “Resources” page of HRA’s website.
• If there is data that can be shared with HRA Members only, we can make that information accessible to HRA Members only by requiring a login to the website to access the analysis.

Send the analysis to HRA staff to post including which of the above methods is appropriate.

For listserv posts that generate a significant number of responses, we ask that the person who posted to the listserv compile the responses for redistribution and posting to the HRA website.  If you do not have the bandwidth to compile the responses please let HRA staff know so we can make sure this happens.
