3. SECURITY
Registry security is provided by Sanford Research. There is a 3-part enrollment process, a secure login page, de-identified personal data, and a Scientific Advisory Board to oversee policies and procedures. Researcher access requires the researcher to provide their facility's Internal Review Board and then to have their research proposal reviewed by Sanford's Advisory Board. Sanford's personnel will contact a patient directly with further details if selected.
4. ENROLLMENT in 3 SEGMENTS
Screening Activation Form,
Consent & General Demographics, and
TGA Specific Questionnaire
5. QUESTIONNAIRE DESIGN
The format follows the guidelines of the NIH Office of Rare Disease Research (ORDR) Common Data Elements.
6. DETAILS
This is not a survey, but a scientific document following NIH guidelines. A participant may be contacted by CoRDS regarding a potential research opportunity. There is no cost to participate. There is no stipend for participating unless a researcher posts a payment schedule. There is no guarantee a participant will be selected for a research study or clinical trial. That is the discretion of the researcher. There is no schedule or timeframe for any future studies or trials. It is the participant's responsibility to inform Sanford Research of changes in the participant's demographics. a participant can withdraw at any time with proper notice.
