ACTG/IMPAACT
The ACTG/IMPAACT preset project has these requirements.
Data entry requirements
| Field | Required? | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ID1 (PID) | Required* | 8 characters long, 7 numbers and one letter between A and L; if the PID does not have
7 numbers, add leading zeros to the front of it. *This requirement can be disabled by Frontier Science for certain studies. |
| ID2 (Protocol) | Required | Select from the pre-defined list of protocols. |
| ID3 | Optional | LDMS will remember previously entered ID3s and automatically populate ID3 when the same project-PID-protocol combination is entered. |
| Visit | Required | Select from pre-defined list of visit units. |
| OPID | Available | -- |
| Clinic | Required | LDMS will automatically populate the clinic using one previously entered for the same PID, protocol, and SID combination. |
| Specimen Time | Depends | If you do not have a specimen time recorded on your CRF, contact the clinic that collected the specimen from the participant. This field is required for specimens with a specimen date of 01 January 2004 or later; it is optional for specimens prior to that date. This requirement can be overridden for specimens after this date, if necessary. |
| Received Time | Optional | -- |
Notes
- ACTG/IMPAACT uses the standard LDMS Shipping File format to ship between ACTG and IMPAACT laboratories using LDMS.
- ACTG/IMPAACT requires specimens to be labeled with a 2D barcode and label from LDMS; LDMS comes with label formats for ACTG setup and ready to use.
- ACTG and IMPAACT are listed as a combined project throughout LDMS (ACTG/IMPAACT).
- Preloads are permitted for the ACTG/IMPAACT project, but users are not permitted to create their own. All ACTG preloads are created by Frontier Science in collaboration with network leadership.
