Vivli launches Ambassador Program

Vivli is delighted to announce the launch of the Ambassador Program. The Ambassador Program aims to raise awareness of the importance of data sharing and data reuse, and of the research opportunities available in the Vivli data repository. Successful Vivli Ambassadors will be eligible for financial support to attend conferences in their area of research specialty. A total of five travel grants of $2,500 are available for successful applicants. Vivli Ambassadors will also participate in user interviews and testing twice a year to contribute to ongoing development of the Vivli platform.

Researchers who have successfully completed a research project using data from the Vivli repository are eligible to apply to become a Vivli Ambassador. Vivli will contact eligible researchers directly via email, with an invitation to submit a brief proposal outlining their idea for promoting research using the Vivli data repository.

If you have questions about this initiative or think you might be eligible to apply and haven’t received an email by April 1, 2025, please get in touch at support@vivli.org.

Vivli Webinar: The Potential Impact of Recent U.S. Legal Developments on Data Sharing with China and Other Countries of Concern

Vivli held a webinar to discuss recent developments in data privacy laws and their impact on data sharing.

This webinar was held at 5pm CEST / 11am EDT / 8am PDT on Friday, April 12th

VIEW THE RECORDING

Over the past few weeks there have been significant U.S. executive and congressional actions related to restricting transactions, data transfers, and certain types of contracts with China, other countries of concern (e.g., Russia), and individuals and businesses connected with these countries. Principally, this includes President Biden’s Executive Order (“EO”) on bulk sensitive personal data transfers and the corresponding U.S. Department of Justice Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“ANPRM”), the unanimous passage by the U.S. House of Representatives of the Protecting Americans’ Data from Foreign Adversaries Act, and the passage of the BIOSECURE Act by a critical Senate Committee.

All three of these developments, if finalized, will have important impacts on the sharing of data and biospecimens with China and certain other jurisdictions that have been labeled “countries of concern.” In this presentation, Ropes & Gray partner, David Peloquin, will walk through these different proposed regulations and legislation, focusing on the implications they each may have for research data sharing. He will also discuss the different timelines and comment periods for the EO and ANPRM, as well as the current status of each of the pending pieces of legislation.

Speaker:

  • David Peloquin, Partner, Ropes & Gray

Learning objectives for this session include:

  • Understanding the basics of the EO, the ANPRM, the BIOSECURE Act and the Protecting Americans’ Data from Foreign Adversaries Act
  • Understanding how each of these proposed regulations or pieces of legislation may affect research data sharing with China and other countries of concern
  • Understanding the potential timelines for implementation of each of these proposed regulations and pieces of legislation
