Users may search for studies, request data packages, and analyze data sets within the Vivli platform.
All data requests proceed through a data request review. (Blue box in the infographic above).
Step 1: Vivli Administrator form check — Ensure all required fields of the data request form are completed and that a qualified.
Step 2: Data Contributor Review — Check feasibility of fulfilling request.
Step 3: Independent Review Panel or Scientific Committee — Reviews based upon the merits of the research proposal.
Depending on the studies being requested for reuse, not all three steps will be completed. Please see a member’s page for the specific review process their studies or alternatively the metadata about a specific study.
All Data Requestors wishing to receive access to data must execute the Data Use Agreement (DUA). The DUA is the product of extensive negotiation with the organizations that contribute data to Vivli, and as such, the agreement is non-negotiable.
See an example complete DUA here.
Before submitting your request, you may wish to review our standard Master DUA (above). Please note that the Vivli team will initiate the DUA process with researchers as a part of the data request process. When you are considering submitting a request on the Vivli platform, please prioritize submission of your data request. The DUA process generally is as follows:
Please note that any research team members from a different institution than the Lead Investigator will also need to complete and execute a DUA if they need to access the requested data.
If you have any questions or need any additional assistance completing your DUA once received, please contact the Vivli team at support@vivli.org and we will be happy to assist you.
The Vivli secure research environment is a cloud-based remote workspace that allows research teams to access data and conduct analyses. Download a complete list of Software and R packages available in the research environment. Users may bring in their own data, tools, algorithms, and statistical software to the Vivli secure research space upon request. All environments sizes allow 2 concurrent logins. The total number of researchers who can access a research environment is unlimited. To inquire about bringing in specific tools, algorithms, and statistical software, contact support@vivli.org.
