You can add a study to an existing program if the following criteria are true:

  • You have a MoDaC user account with upload permission.
  • You are member of a group that has permission to edit that program (or if you created that program). 

When you create a collection, you become the owner of that collection. (Ownership cannot be changed.)

  1. Log in, as described in Logging In

  2. Click Upload in the header. The Upload page appears. 

  3. Click Select Program. Select an existing program from the program list.
  4. Click Register Study. The Register Study page appears.
  5. Specify information for the new collection:

    • Under Permissions, click the Specify Who Can Edit the Collection text box to select one or more groups from the list. (If this Permissions field is empty, only you, as the person who created the collection, can edit the metadata, add files, or add subcollections.)
    • Next to Study Access Group, click the text box. Select one or more groups from the list to give those groups access to this collection. For details on this field, refer to Prerequisites for Sharing Collections.
    • Specify a value for each required metadata attribute. Keep in mind the following points:
      • The character limit for each metadata value is 2700.
      • Once you register the collection, the identifier is permanent.
      • If an attribute value begins with http or https, MoDaC displays it as a hyperlink in read-only fields.
      • For additional guidance on each attribute, hover over the The information icon. icon. 
    • To add a metadata attribute, click Add Metadata. A blank attribute row appears. Specify a unique attribute name that has been declared in the system. Specify a value within the above character limit. (Repeat for additional attributes.)
    • To clear an optional or new value, click the X. To delete a new attribute row, click the minus symbol.
  6. When you have finished specifying information for the new collection, click Register Study. A message appears, confirming the collection creation. 

To return to the Upload page, click Back to Upload Tab.
