Scholars @ Weill Cornell is the public research profile system for Weill Cornell Medicine. It replaces VIVO as of November 2026. VIVO was the NIH-funded research networking tool created at Cornell, and Weill Cornell Medicine was one of its first implementation sites.
Each profile in Scholars is built automatically from authoritative institutional systems. Publications are matched to each scholar by ReCiter from PubMed, including articles from previous institutions. Grants come from InfoEd and NIH RePORTER. Titles and appointments come from the Enterprise Directory. For the full list of sources and how each part of a profile is built, see About Scholars.
Why it matters
Accurate, complete profiles help researchers find collaborators, attract funders and media attention, and get credit for their work. Visitors can search by person, research area, method, department, center, or grant.
What’s new compared with VIVO
- You write your own overview statement.
- You choose your Selected highlights, and you can hide or restore individual publications, grants, and other records.
- You can let an assistant or coordinator maintain your profile for you.
- You can request a custom, name-based web address.
- Your work appears in more places: research areas, methods, expert listings, and the home page Spotlight.
Who is included
All faculty with a Weill Cornell Medicine appointment, plus postdoctoral associates and fellows. Anyone who prefers not to have a public profile can hide it themselves in Scholars.
