The LEVANTE Data Repository

The LEVANTE Data Repository (LDR) is a Jacobs Foundation-funded collaborative resource that contains harmonized human subjects research data and metadata from multiple research collection sites and contexts, providing a rare and valuable scientific resource. The goal of the LDR is to serve as a centralized repository for the standardized datasets generated via the LEVANTE framework, and to allow for the open sharing and reuse of this data. Research partners will collect data from a set of online measurement platforms and share data via the LDR.

LEVANTE and the Jacobs Foundation seek to encourage the use of these resources to achieve rapid scientific progress. Moreover, the Jacobs Foundation has made data sharing a requirement for all LEVANTE data collection it funds. In order to take full advantage of such resources and maximize their research value, it is important that high quality data are made broadly available, on appropriate terms and conditions, to the largest possible number of qualified investigators in a timely manner.

To protect and assure the confidentiality and privacy of all participants, all requests to submit data to the LDR require acceptance of the Terms and Conditions contained in the LEVANTE Data Submission Agreement (DSA), and all requests to access data in the LDR require acceptance of the Terms and Conditions contained in the LEVANTE Data Use Certification (DUC).

The LEVANTE researcher site provides an up-to-date source of information about data submission and use.
