Demographic data management
Demographic data can be associated with individual slides within a project. This information supports the creation of slide sets for model development that represent a relevant group of patients.
Demographic data is highly sensitive and must therefore be handled carefully. Access needs to be restricted by the project administrator to a limited and defined group of users for an approved purpose and limited period of time.
Demographic data fields
The following demographic data can be stored per slide and per project in the CP Portal back-end.
| Name | Type | Permitted values |
|---|---|---|
| Age | Int | Integer value |
| Sex | CV | male, female, not provided, other |
| Race | CV | American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, White, Multiple |
| Ethnicity | CV | Hispanic or Latino, Not Hispanic or Latino |
Access requirements
Access to demographic data requires both of the following conditions:
- The user must have the Project Demographic Data Manager project role.
- The user's email address must be included in the approved CP DMO user list.
The Project Demographic Data Manager role has the same project permissions as the Project Write role and, in addition, provides access to the endpoint for reading and writing demographic data.
Role and allowlist checks are cumulative
Having the Project Demographic Data Manager role alone does not grant access. The user's email address must also be present on the applicable allowlist.
Endpoint access
Demographic data can be stored, read, and updated only through the designated demographic-data endpoint.
API-only access
Demographic data is not available through metadata tablesin the CP Portal user-interface.
Refer to the API endpoints section for general information about accessing CP Portal endpoints and API authentication .
No administrative bypass
Demographic data cannot be retrieved or modified by Project Admin users or through a global role. Authorization must be granted through the dedicated project Demographic Data Manager role for users on the approved-user list only.
