Announcements
Annual Financial Disclosure Solicitation (Sept. 21, 2023)
We are excited to announce Convey® as our new financial disclosure collection system! HANC will be using Convey to collect all financial interest disclosures going forward. Convey, a global disclosure system developed by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), will help us centralize and streamline the data collection and review process for your Network's disclosure needs. Network investigators will receive emails from HANC and their Network(s) related to the change. The emails will provide Investigators with instructions on how to create their Convey accounts.
Learn more about Convey and its system by watching this brief video demonstration.

HANC supports a number of trans-institute behavioral science groups composed of experts that are working to advance research and clinical trials through cross-network collaboration.
Community
HANC supports Community Partners, The Legacy Project, and the COVID-19 CAB coalition to achieve representation and build relationships with historically underrepresented communities in clinical research.
Cross-Network
HANC supports cross-network working groups for network leadership, communications, data management centers, performance evaluation, and site coordinators to promote greater information sharing, collaboration, and process standardization.
