Changing Study Ownership

It is possible to change the owner of a clinical study. To do this, the current owner updates the Owning Location field in the Maintain Clinical Studies form. Ownership actually transfers the next time the new owner initiates replication.

If the receiving location does not have an up-to-date copy of the study definition, an error message is issued when the owning location is changed. The new owner can not replicate the study until receiving an updated copy of the study definition.

The replication process that changes ownership also replicates the randomization in the study.
