Clinical Metadata Template

A template outlining clinical metadata to collect for study subjects.

Instructions

This template collects information about the individuals, aka subjects, from whom samples are collected and used for data collection. One row represent a distinct individual. Each individualID is expected to be unique within this template and more broadly across a given program. The same individualID are expected to be used in corresponding Assay and File Annotation templates.
