Vivli is delighted to share that we have launched the Ambassador Program and selected our inaugural cohort of Ambassadors. The program was created to raise awareness of the importance of data sharing and reuse, as well as to promote the research opportunities available through the Vivli data repository.

Selected Ambassadors were eligible for financial support to attend conferences aligned with their research focus. A total of five travel grants of $2,500 were awarded. In addition to presenting their work, Ambassadors will participate in user interviews and testing twice a year to help guide the continued development of the Vivli platform.

Researchers who had successfully completed a project using data from the Vivli repository were invited to apply. Eligible researchers received a direct email invitation to submit a brief proposal outlining how they would promote research using the Vivli platform.
