Research Master ID (RMID) Sarah Brewer, MA, CCRA Leila Forney, DNP, CCRP
The Basics What is a RMID? Why? A unique numeric identifier that links a research study across multiple electronic research systems Why? Accurately identify research studies Improve metrics tracking and reporting Increase data accuracy across systems Initiative from the Office of the Vice President for Research 05/30/2017
The Basics A RMID will be required when submitting new studies in: eIRB electronic proposal datasheet (ePDS) SPARCRequest© Additional systems to be added “New Study” Any research study that has not been entered into one of the current linked systems 05/30/2017
The Basics Name of the principal investigator of the research study Principal Investigator (PI): PI’s primary funding department Department: The full title of the research study found on the protocol document. Long Title: The short title is the shortened version of the full research study title. Short Title: The funding source identifies how the study is or will be funded. External funding – funding is received from a source outside of MUSC Internal funding – funding may be coming from department or a pilot project Funding Source: PI: If the PI is not known, this may be the name of the proposed principal investigator. Short Title: It may be an acronym of the long title or other variation by which it is easy for the entire study team to identify the study. 05/30/2017

eIRB – Future Directions Error message Validation – Has RMID been submitted on another protocol? Which protocol is the RMID associated with? Check your RMID Contact OCR if your RMID is correct but another study is using it. 05/30/2017
ePDS RMID is not a required field YET But it is VERY important Study teams will need to enter the RMID to link the COEUS record to the study’s other records (eIRB, SPARC, Epic, etc.) 05/30/2017
