What is Cnidarity?

Cnidarity is a research data management platform designed specifically for academic and scientific teams. Unlike generic spreadsheets or complex enterprise software, Cnidarity provides researchers with intuitive tools to organize research data, create custom data models, and collaborate across institutions.

Whether you're managing field observations in marine biology, tracking experiments in a chemistry lab, or organizing survey data in social sciences, Cnidarity adapts to your methodology. Our flexible data modeling system lets you define exactly how your research data should be structured, with custom attributes, validation rules, and relationships between data types.

Built by researchers, for researchers. Cnidarity replaces the chaos of scattered spreadsheets and incompatible formats with a unified research database platform that your entire team can access, contribute to, and analyze together.
