How frequently are the data in the app updated?

The app is directly linked to the studies on Synapse, so data in the app reflects the same data in Synapse, updated daily.

It looks like the publication status of projects in projectLive is not updated or does not match
or link together with NF Data Portal. Why?

Sage scans publication repositories (like Pubmed) for acknowledgements of the funding sources in a semi-automated manner. If a publication lists acknowledges your organization or grant ID, they are added to projectLIVE. The publication count in projectLIVE is updated daily from the information that has been gathered. Any publications that do not reference the organization or grant ID may be missing. Please contact nf-osi@sagebionetworks.org if you think a publication is missing.

When is the “Sage internal milestone or progress report tracking” section updated?

For "internal milestone" tracking, projectLive updates daily for studies whose data sharing plans have been added to Synapse and updated. Addition of new data sharing plans occur once every 6 months. Changes or updates to milestones or data sharing plans more recent than the last 6 months may not be reflected in the tracker yet.

How can I find all the completed studies in a specific initiative in my funding portfolio?

You can find this information in the Participating Studies module. Please type in “completed” in the Search box on top in Section 1 table. This will highlight all studies with Study Status labeled as “completed”. You can also click twice on the arrow heads on the side of “Study Status” column name to sort the table with completed studies on top.
