Dear Friends,

It was with great pleasure that we marked Vivli’s five-year anniversary in 2023. Data sharing has come a long way since our launch in 2018 and we’re proud to have played a role in maximizing the value of clinical trial data by making it available for re-use.

Throughout this time, we have stayed laser-focused on making it easy for researchers to share and access clinical trial data. In 2023, we released version 3.0 of the Vivli platform and launched our Portals feature to highlight therapeutic areas of interest to the research community. We also worked closely with NIH grantees to help them use Vivli to meet the NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy requirements—a landmark policy which went into effect this year.

While 2023 was a major milestone for Vivli and for data sharing in general, we know there is still much more work to do to improve discoverability of data and data re-use. We’re eagerly looking ahead to Vivli’s next five years—and beyond. Our November meeting at the National Academy of Medicine set the stage for an exciting future of data sharing and re-use, and we’re energized to meet the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

With much gratitude for the support and collaboration from our members, researchers, advisors and funders in 2023. Best wishes to you and your families for the New Year!

REBECCA LI,

PhD, CEO, VIVLI
