HIFA welcomes The Collaborative Library as a new supporting organisation

8 July, 2025

Dear HIFA colleagues,

On behalf of the HIFA Steering Group, I am delighted to welcome The Collaborative Library as a new Supporting Organisation.

'The Collaborative Library is a community-driven platform that provides lay summaries of research articles. The goal is to make scientific knowledge more accessible and engaging to everyone, regardless of their level of expertise. It includes a wide range of research articles, from clinical studies to basic scientific research and encourages users to contribute summaries of articles that they find interesting or important to share with the world.'

Their website is https://thecollaborativelibrary.com/ and our contact person is Anja Harrison at: hello@thecollaborativelibrary.com

The Collaborative Library joins more than 400 organisations worldwide who are committed to the HIFA vision: a world where every person and every health worker has access to the healthcare information they need to protect their own health and the health of others, and is protected from misinformation. The full list of SOs, with profiles, is available here: http://www.hifa.org/support/supporting-organisations

If YOUR organisation would like to add your voice to support HIFA, please apply here:

Every new HIFA Supporting Organisation brings us closer to our goal.

Supporting Organisations are under no obligation to provide financial support. Those who do so are prominently recognised on our home page and publications.

HIFA Supporting Organisations (SOs) enjoy many benefits including:

- increased visibility for your organisation and its activities

- active role in helping to improve access to health information

- being part of a growing global network of SOs

- opportunities to collaborate with other SOs through our dedicated SO forum and webinars

- opportunities for practical collaboration with HIFA

- your logo on the HIFA website (all supporting organisations)

- your logo on the HIFA home page (financial supporters).

Best wishes, Neil
