Available resources
Request any of the following. Turnaround is typically 5 business days for standard requests, 10 days for custom materials.
Data Management Plan (DMP) Language
Boilerplate language describing LLIF's data governance model, consent framework, participant rights, and retention policies — formatted for NIH, NSF, and PCORI DMP requirements. Includes descriptions of access controls, audit trails, and data sharing protocols. Provided as an editable Word document.
Request DMP Language →Budget Justification Templates
Itemized budget language for LLIF infrastructure costs, including API access fees, participant enrollment, compliance tracking, environmental enrichment, and data export. Formatted for common grant budget templates (NIH modular and detailed, NSF). Includes cost categories and justification narrative.
Request Budget Templates →Letter of Support
A formal letter signed by LLIF leadership confirming our commitment to serve as data infrastructure partner for your proposed study period. Addresses LLIF's nonprofit governance, 501(c)(3) status, data protections, and infrastructure capabilities. Tailored to your specific study and funder requirements.
Request a Letter of Support →IRB Documentation Package
Supporting documentation for your IRB application, including descriptions of LLIF's consent architecture, data access controls, participant rights, audit trail capabilities, and data retention policies. Available for initial IRB submission and continuing review.

This study will collect longitudinal data using the OpenLife Cloud platform, operated by the Live Learn Innovate Foundation (LLIF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit data infrastructure organization. LLIF provides IRB-compatible consent architecture, automated compliance tracking, environmental data enrichment, and longitudinal data storage that persists independently of grant funding cycles.
Participant data will be stored on OpenLife Cloud infrastructure, governed by the LLIF Participant Data Charter. Data is classified as a donor-restricted asset under nonprofit governance and cannot be sold, transferred, or repurposed without IRS approval. Participants retain ownership of their data and may export or delete it at any time. All data access is logged and available for audit. The LLIF Data Partner Agreement establishes the legal framework for data access by the research team.
Participant consent will be managed through LLIF's IRB-compatible consent architecture. Participants consent at two levels: first to the LLIF data framework, then specifically to this study. Consent records are immutable, timestamped, and auditable. Participants may revoke consent to this study at any time without affecting their data in other contexts.
OpenLife Cloud infrastructure costs include: [see budget template]. LLIF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit; infrastructure fees support operational sustainability and are not profit distributions. A letter of support from LLIF confirming this partnership is included in the application.

Reach out with your study concept, target funder, and proposal timeline. We'll confirm whether LLIF infrastructure is a fit and assign a research partnerships contact.
Receive Proposal Materials
We provide DMP language, budget templates, and a letter of support tailored to your study and funder. Standard turnaround: 5–10 business days.
Execute the Data Partner Agreement
Once funded, you execute the LLIF Data Partner Agreement — the legal framework governing research access to participant data. IRB approval for your study is required before data access begins.
Design Your Study as a Program
Work with our research team to configure your study as an LLIF program — defining data requirements, compliance schedules, participant onboarding, and insight outputs.
Launch and Collect
Participants enroll through Best Life or a custom app. Data collection, compliance tracking, and environmental enrichment run automatically. You access data via API with full audit trails.
Follow-Up and Longitudinal Extension
Data persists beyond your initial grant period. Follow-up studies can access historical participant data with renewed consent — without re-enrollment from scratch.
