Protocol Affiliation Type

 

The Affiliation Type maintenance document is used to establish and maintain numeric codes and textual description values that are stored in database tables to represent searchable information that is referenced, displayed and/or made available for lookup or selection in various areas of the system, including other e-docs.

The values in the Protocol Affiliation Type maintenance table become available for selection within the “Affiliation Type” dropdown within the IRB protocol’s Personnel/Person Details section. They provide further information about the IRB protocol personnel’s affiliation.

 

Existing Value Modification:  Existing values may be edited as long as the description is synonymous with the original term.  New values can be added.  You should not delete existing values.
