ResearchCloud accommodates research programs and studies at any scale—from ambitious longitudinal studies at a national level involving hundreds of partners and collaborating organizations, to shorter term, more limited endeavors. In addition, your organization may host and manage multiple studies concurrently in ResearchCloud.
The Site Management function allows you to use Levels to establish the organizational structure that supports each study, with Level 1 at the top and Levels 2 and 3 denoting subordinate levels. Based on your role in the hierarchy, you may then assign operational roles and responsibilities. Your visibility into the data that you can view and the extent of your functions correspond to your level along your program's hierarchy.
