Grant partner portal & methodological resources for global health investigators.
Standardized informatics boilerplates, compliance identifiers, and budget justification frameworks — ready to embed directly into NIH, Wellcome Trust, EDCTP3, and Grand Challenges proposals.
Strengthen your proposal with field-proven, data-sovereign infrastructure.
When international grant bodies — such as the NIH, Wellcome Trust, or European Horizon/EDCTP3 — evaluate field research proposals, they heavily scrutinize three core operational metrics: Data Security & Sovereignty, Field Synchronization Resilience, and Long-Term Financial Sustainability. Relying on fragmented open-source setups often exposes proposals to negative technical reviews due to hidden DevOps vulnerabilities and extensive data-cleaning backlogs.
LongData partners directly with Principal Investigators (PIs) and research consortia as a designated Informatics Technology Subcontractor. By embedding LongData's minimal-dependency relational platform into your application, you provide reviewers with a field-proven, regionally validated data solution that protects donor capital and keeps more funding allocated toward direct epidemiological research.
Three review metrics, one answer.

Data Infrastructure & Management Workpackage
Data Infrastructure Approach. Field data capture, storage, and synchronization will be supported by the LongData informatics platform — an offline-first, on-premise relational data infrastructure purpose-built for longitudinal public health research in resource-constrained environments. The platform deploys 100% within the host institution's secure campus network, ensuring absolute data sovereignty and direct compliance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA), GDPR principles, and HIPAA data management baselines.
Architecture. The platform runs natively on a minimal-dependency HTML, PHP 8.x, and MySQL/MariaDB stack — eliminating the DevOps container complexity (Docker, Kubernetes, Java environments) that compromises legacy open-source alternatives during regional power or network disruptions. Field data is ingested directly into a natively normalized relational schema (household → individual → visit_log → diagnosis), enforcing referential integrity at the point of capture and reducing downstream data-cleaning lag by up to 80% versus flat-file or EAV-based workflows.
Field Synchronization. Data collection is executed via a device-agnostic Progressive Web App (PWA) launched through a standard browser URL on any mobile device, operating fully offline in remote enumeration areas. Synchronization cycles execute as atomic database transactions, automatically rolling back on interrupted connections to prevent partial or duplicated record states. Cryptographic hashing (bcrypt/SHA-256) secures all authentication credentials.
Validation. The architecture has been operationally validated through a continuous 24-month longitudinal deployment across distributed low- connectivity field settings in West Africa, demonstrating zero synchronization loss events and stable operation on standard institutional hardware. The proposed subcontractor (LongData Informatics Research) holds a verified SAM.gov Unique Entity ID and is architecturally aligned with international health data sovereignty mandates.
