CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vivli, a Massachusetts-based nonprofit, has received $2 million from the Laura and John Arnold Foundation to build a first-of-its-kind data sharing platform for clinical trial research. The innovative platform will include a data repository, analysis tools and a dynamic search engine. It will provide transparency and access to clinical research data from around the globe, break data out of existing silos, and accelerate scientific discovery to improve human health.
With this support, Vivli will address the substantial data sharing challenges faced by clinical researchers worldwide.

The vision of the nonprofit is to advance human health through clinical research data sharing, thereby respecting and honoring the contributions of clinical research participants.
“Vivli is delighted by the generous support provided by the Laura and John Arnold Foundation,” said Dr. Ida Sim, Vivli Co-Founder and technical lead. “This financial support allows us to quickly move to launching the platform in 2018.
