Getting Started
Important!
Always use your own Google partner domain account and password to log into the Admin
Portal. Do not share this information with others.
All users of the CSP Admin Portal (Investigators, Study Coordinators, Monitors) use the same
process to sign in:
1. Using Google Chrome, click the link in the partner domain email or go to JUNIPER MDD
Study. Each study has a unique URL.
Tip: Bookmark the study URL to make it easy to access in the future.
2. You will land on either the Hi [Your Name] screen or the Choose an Account screen.
1. At the top left, click the menu icon ( ) to open a dropdown menu and select Action Item
Dashboard, Participants, Inventory, Queries, Send Feedback, or Help Center.
Note: The Help Center contains a searchable list of articles with practical information and
step-by-step instructions for using the Admin Portal.
Participants List
The Participants list contains a comprehensive list of study participants, including all statuses.
You can apply filters or enter search criteria to quickly identify specific participants.
Note: You can apply multiple filters or search criteria to the list at the same time, for example
participants enrolled at a specific site.
To filter participants:
1. At the top right of the Participants list, next to Any Status, click the arrow to open a
dropdown menu.
Note: If needed, click the ellipsis ( ) at the right of the search/filters bar to expand filters.
2. Filter by status. The list automatically updates to show a filtered list of participants.
3. On the list of participants, select a study participant to open the participant profile.
Note: To open the participant profile, you may click on any field, including the ID, Name,
DOB, Contact Info, Status or Next Appointment.
Participant Profile
The participant profile displays a variety of information about the participant on a single screen.
This makes it easy to access administrative tools and document the work you do with study
participants. CRAs have permission to view profile information, including PII. The profile is
tailor-made to contain the components and information relevant for your study, including:
● Participant Header: Name, participant ID, and status. At the right, the Casebook button
provides quick access to the casebook and associated CRFs. At the far right, click the
ellipsis ( ) and select a menu item to review consents or view account history.
● Participant Information: ID, Name, email, address, status, site, DOB, sex at birth, phone
number, race, last updated. The status will automatically change as the participant
progresses through the study, for example from screening to enrolled.
● Payments: For sites that use PayQuicker, this section displays participant payment amounts
and statuses for study activities.
Depending on the field and user permissions, the participant profile enables users to edit
information or expand a document from the profile.
Note: CRAs have view-only permission for profile data, including PII. For more information
about CRA permissions, see the Appendix.
1. Users with edit permissions may update information. To update information, next to an
editable field, click the pencil icon ( ), make edits and then click Save.
Note: If a pencil icon does not appear when you hover over a field, then you cannot edit the
information from the profile screen.
2. To expand a document, for example Profile Survey, click the expand icon ( ).
Review Consent
Obtaining and documenting informed consent from study participants is one of the most
important parts of clinical research. It’s essential that patients fully understand the study, have
an opportunity to ask questions, and voluntarily agree to participate. The Admin Portal
simplifies obtaining consent and tracking consent status.
The JUNIPER MDD study contains these consents:
● Research Subject Information and Informed Consent – this is required for all study
participants and must be signed by the study participant and site staff. The participant must
view an embedded instructional video and complete a knowledge quiz before signing this
consent.
● Authorization to Use and Disclose Protected Health Information – this is required and must
be signed by the study participant and site staff.
● CA Experimental Research Subject’s Bill of Rights – this is shown only to California site
participants and must be signed by the study participant.
● Future Biospecimen Research (FBR) — this is an optional consent. If the participant
chooses to sign the consent, it must also be signed by the person who explained the
consent (study investigator or designee).
Note: If the FBR is released to the participant and the participant declines to sign this
optional consent, this is recorded under Consent History. The FBR consent will also
display under Actions Available, with the option to release the consent if the participant
reconsiders and decides to sign the consent.
● The Pregnant Partner Authorization Form – this is a paper consent form. It will be signed
outside of the CSP platform if the participant or their partner becomes pregnant during the
trial.
In the Admin Portal, you can access a PDF of the signed eConsent two ways, from the Consent
Documents section on the participant profile or from the top of the participant profile. The
Consent History shows consent actions in chronological order, for example when the site
released the consent to the participant, when the participant signed the consent, and when the
site countersigned the consent.
1. In the Consent Documents section, hover over a consent name and click the expand icon
( ) to open a preview of the consent in a pop-up window.
2. On the right, use the vertical scroll bar to scroll through additional pages.
3. To close the preview, at the top right, click X.
Note: To withdraw consent, at the top right of the signed consent preview, click Withdraw.
2. On the right, use the vertical scroll bar to view additional pages. To open a print preview of
the consent, click View Print-Friendly Version.
3. To close the preview, at the top of the screen, click X to close the Print Consent tab.
Note: For detailed information and instructions for completing individual CRFs, refer to the eCRF
Completion Guidelines document.
To open the casebook, at the top right of the participant profile, click Casebook.
Below the Casebook button, the number of CRFs displays along with the number signed, for
example: 0 of 1 CRFs signed. A CRF must be submitted before it is available for Principal
Investigators to sign.
● On the left, a list of folders and number of related CRFs, with search and filters.
● In the center, the selected CRF.
● At the top right, the number of query tasks.
1. To search for a file, type at least three characters into the Search a file box and click the
magnifying glass icon.
2. To filter the casebook by progress, click the arrow ( )in the Progress filter box and select
All, In progress, Not started or Completed.
