Dear HRA members,
We would like to extend the opportunity to the HRA community to sign up for the next cycle of the HRA Peer Circles Program. Please see below for more information.
What are Peer Circles?
As part of the Health Research Alliance’s Professional Development Program, Peer Circles provide an opportunity to enhance your professional capacity and network. Peer Circles meet regularly to discuss various topics related to navigating the professional world and achieving career goals. These meetings aim to build community among individuals at similar career stages and allow group members to learn from each other and build their network. Peer Circles also provide a forum to support others in finding solutions to challenges faced in the workplace. Members can help their peers reflect on the issues at hand with new perspectives, allowing them each to develop a path forward.
Who are the members of a Peer Circle?
Peer Circles will be made up of groups of ~4-7 individuals from different Health Research Alliance (HRA) member organizations with similar career roles.
How often should Peer Circles meet?
Once circles are formed, circles should schedule virtual meetings approximately monthly. Each group will be responsible for scheduling their own meetings. Participants must do their best to attend all meetings of the circle, with the understanding that personal and professional emergencies may arise.
What is the duration of the program?
Individuals are expected to participate in the program for a duration of 6 months (October-March)
Are there any other expectations I should keep in mind?
- All discussions within Peer Circles should remain respectful and confidential.
- Participants will be asked to respond to a brief final evaluation survey at the end of the program.
How do I sign up to be a member of a Peer Circle?

The deadline to sign up is Wednesday, September 24th. There is no limit to the number who can participate per each member organization.
Whom should I contact with general questions?
