Keep in mind the following about the representation of NCI-designated Cancer Centers in CTRP:
- A CTRP organization family represents an NCI-designated Cancer Center family of organizations. For brevity, this guide refers to this entity as a Cancer Center family.
- A CTRP organization that is a member of a Cancer Center family is considered a Cancer Center organization. For brevity, this guide refers to this entity as a Cancer Center organization.
If you are affiliated with a Cancer Center organization that has been added to a trial as a participating site, the following points indicate whether you can update that participating site:
- If you added an organization as a participating site to a trial, you will be the participating site record owner and can update information about that organization in the same trial record.
- If you are affiliated with an organization and that organization is a participating site on a trial, you can update information about that organization in the same trial record.
- If you are a Site Administrator and your affiliated organization is in a Cancer Center family, you can update your organization's sibling sites on a trial(that is, other participating sites in the Cancer Center family).
- If you are not a Site Administrator and are affiliated with a Cancer Center family, you must request Site Administrator privileges from your Site Administrator before you can update any organization that is a participating site in the family.
