VeriMe Partner Program
Our Launch Partners
Research Integrity
August 2025. Signals and VeriMe are pleased to announce that they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding, agreeing to partner on developing requirements for a next-generation method of identity-proofing. Together, we seek to promote trust in research and scholarship and ensure researchers control over their identity.
SECURE Research Data
August 2025. We are excited to be partnering with Redivis to identify opportunities to integrate identity verification in research data workflows. A core goal of VeriMe is to support open science through community connection and empowerment by providing tools researchers can use and control. Our particular focus is privacy-preserving identity proofing. Our journey involves partnering with researchers and organizations aligned with open science principles. Redivis empowers research organizations to FAIRly distribute rich datasets, while providing researchers with accessible, high performance tools to drive discovery. It specializes in facilitating the distribution of large, high-risk datasets, where security and privacy are paramount. Together, we seek to ensure researchers are able to access the data they need for their research, while also maintaining security of the data.
Open Data Archive
September 2025. Dryad and VeriMe are exploring workflows and integration points for identity verification in data archiving workflows. We are excited to be partnering with a leading open research repository to support research data sharing. Our work will help to define and drive adoption of researcher-first digital identity protocols for research data on a global scale.
