Invented at Cornell University, VIVO is a researcher profile system and networking tool that enables collaboration among scientists across all disciplines. The primary goal of VIVO is to offer faculty and researchers a polished and accurate web presence.
Users can search people, departments, courses, grants and publications. VIVO ensures that data comes only from authoritative sources and that your list of authored journal articles, including those from previous affiliations, is accurate and complete.
Having accurate metadata allows you to: attract funders, find collaboration opportunities, and receive credit for your activities.

FAQs
Who is on VIVO?
At present, VIVO includes all faculty with a Weill Cornell appointment as well as postdoctoral associates or fellows with a primary affiliation at Weill Cornell. In a future release, we plan to create VIVO profiles for graduate students. To have a VIVO profile, users must have an active faculty appointment. To edit a VIVO profile, users must have an active CWID.
Can I opt out of VIVO?
No. All Weill Cornell appointed faculty and researchers as well as postdoctoral associates or fellows with a primary affiliation at Weill Cornell have a VIVO profile in an effort to enhance research collaboration and promote Cornell's mission. Further, we encourage profiled people to enhance their profiles with richer data (if they choose).
If we are mistaken and you are no longer associated with the medical college, the listing will be removed.
