Alive is an alliance of organizations and individuals from across the evidence ecosystem focused on delivering the evidence needed for a better world. We are building and testing a collaborative approach to living evidence partnerships that delivers up-to-date, trustworthy and affordable evidence to evidence users.

In lots of ways! 
‍

We are developing several Alive partnerships and are simultaneously seeking new topic areas and partners. Please get in touch hello@aliveevidence.org to find out how you can get involved.

Alive can act as a facilitator and broker to help build a partnership. We can also provide guides and templates for partnerships that can be adapted to your specific needs. We have methodological expertise in living evidence and can advise and support living evidence generation. To find out more, please contact hello@aliveevidence.org

We suggest that partnerships last for 2 years initially, with the possibility to extend the duration. The length of the partnership will be largely determined by the demands and priorities of the evidence users within it. Partnerships may engage additional partners over time and/or expand to encompass additional topics and question areas.

No, Alive has partnerships across a broad range of domains, including health, education, climate and social policy. The most important driver of topic selection is tangible demand from advisory and decision-making organizations.

As we develop partnerships, we are simultaneously developing our funding model. This is to ensure that evidence arising from our partnerships is trustworthy, timely and affordable. To find out more about partnership opportunities, please contact hello@aliveevidence.org

Alive is currently testing different financial models for scale and sustainability. As a nonprofit initiative, all funds are used to develop and deliver living evidence partnerships and to share the lessons learned. 

No. Covidence is a systematic review software platform developed by a separate group within the Future Evidence Foundation. Alive does not have a relationship with Covidence, and all Alive partnerships make their own decisions about what software to use.
