Enrollments

An enrollment associates a participant with a protocol.

For example, a participant in the Frontier project may be participating in a study called F1526. The combination of that participant identifier on that study is called the enrollment.

A protocol is called ID2 in LDMS. Like ID1 for participant identifiers, the name for ID2 will vary, depending on the project. For example, a vaccine project may call the protocol box in LDMS “STUDY”, whereas a pharmacology project may call it “TEST PANEL”.

Also like ID1, a project may have rules for how its ID2 is formatted. For example, a vaccine project may require that protocols are in the format “STUDY 201”, “STUDY 202”, and so on; a pharmacology project may use “TEST PANEL A0003”, “TEST PANEL A0004”, etc. If the project has specified these rules, they will be enforced by LDMS.

A participant can be enrolled in more than one ID2 for a project, however because participants are specific to a project, they cannot be enrolled in protocols across multiple projects.
