DS-Determined Study Tools

Referral Code Generator: REDCap Upload Usage

First create a REDCap project and get an API token with import access.

To generate a batch of 2 PRODUCTION records from each of 3 sites:

$ REDCAP_API_TOKEN=XYZ... python3 ref_code_gen.py 2 3 production
2019-12-06 17:31:59 (INFO) sending: [('token', '...'), ('content', 'record'), ('data', '[{"record_id": '), ('format', 'json')]
2019-12-06 17:31:59 (INFO) result: {'count': 6}

To generate a batch of 2 TEST records from each of 3 sites:

$ REDCAP_API_TOKEN=XYZ... python3 ref_code_gen.py 2 3 test
2019-12-06 17:31:59 (INFO) sending: [('token', '...'), ('content', 'record'), ('data', '[{"record_id": '), ('format', 'json')]
2019-12-06 17:31:59 (INFO) result: {'count': 6}

Self-Determination Inventory Status

sds_flat.py converts status info from JSON as provided by SDI to CSV for convenient import into REDCap.

DS-Connect Status API Client (WIP)

Background

This design is somewhat based on experience with "golden tickets" from the PCORNet Adaptable trial, though the use of referral codes in research studies is hardly novel. See also trial_invite_code in the PCORNet CDM.

Funding is provided by the NIH as part of the Include project, launched in June 2018.
