Include LLIF in Your Grant Proposal
LLIF provides nonprofit data infrastructure that strengthens longitudinal research proposals — with IRB-compatible consent architecture, compliance tracking, and participant data that outlives your funding cycle.
We provide budget language, data management plan boilerplate, and letters of support for NIH, NSF, PCORI, and foundation grant proposals.
What LLIF adds to your research application
Nonprofit Data Governance
Participant data classified as a donor-restricted asset under 501(c)(3) governance. Cannot be sold or repurposed regardless of future organizational changes. This is a structural guarantee reviewers can cite — not a policy statement.
IRB-Compatible Consent Architecture
Participant opt-in consent designed for IRB requirements. Participants consent once to a framework, not to each individual study. Clear data access boundaries, audit trails, and transparent handling built into the infrastructure.
Data That Outlives Your Grant
LLIF infrastructure exists independently of any single grant cycle. Participant data persists with renewed consent. Longitudinal follow-up studies don't require re-enrollment from scratch. Researchers who lose funding don't lose their cohort.
Environmental Enrichment — Free
25+ weather, air quality, and pollen metrics automatically attached to every participant health event by location and time. No additional data collection burden. The environmental context that makes population health studies actionable.

Data Management Plan (DMP) Language
Boilerplate language describing LLIF's data governance, consent framework, participant rights, and retention policies — formatted for NIH, NSF, and PCORI DMP requirements.
Request DMP Language →Budget Justification Templates
Itemized budget language for LLIF infrastructure costs, including API access, participant enrollment, compliance tracking, and data export. Formatted for common grant budget templates.
Request Budget Templates →Letter of Support
A formal letter of support from LLIF confirming our commitment to serve as your data infrastructure partner for the proposed study period. Includes description of LLIF's nonprofit governance and data protections.
Your study as a program
Design your study as a Program
Define your Events of Interest, Factors of Interest, and Outcomes of Interest. LLIF's program framework maps directly to standard research study design.
Set compliance requirements
Define data collection schedules, required fields, and completion criteria. The platform tracks compliance automatically against your protocol.
Enroll participants through apps
Participants collect data through Best Life or a custom app built on OpenLife Cloud. No separate data collection app required. Participants use a tool that delivers value to them — which reduces attrition.
Access data via API
Query participant data across time with structured, typed responses. Every data access is logged against participant consent. Full audit trail satisfying IRB requirements.
Publish follow-up studies
With participant consent, longitudinal data remains available for follow-up research. The infrastructure doesn't expire when the grant does.
“Data collected in this study will be managed through the OpenLife Cloud Platform, operated by the Live Learn Innovate Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Participant data is classified as a donor-restricted asset under nonprofit governance, ensuring no resale or secondary commercial exploitation. Data will be retained for [duration] following study completion.”
