What the Project Profile does
The BioData System is organized by Projects and Samples. Use the Project Profile to determine who can access and edit data, provide metadata, and make data entry more efficient by setting defaults.
Parts and functions of Project Profile
- Header is for establishing project identification, data ownership and access
- Identification: Name, Label,
- Ownership: Science Center, Owner
- Access – Editing rights: Owner, Staff
- Review Status
- Header and Project and Program Information is for creating descriptive metadata, the who, what, when and why of the project data set
- Abstract
- Program, Cooperator
- Default Sections, set default values for:
- Lab order and ASR information
- Future: enhancements to make data entry more efficient

The Abstract
The Project Abstract provides a description of the data set collected by this Project. The abstract will be especially helpful to researchers who access these data through the retrieval systems. Enter an abstract that is a paragraph or more that describes the objectives, key aspects, design or methods of study. Also, helpful is the area of study, types of samples collected, and beginning and ending dates.

Special Project or Program Information & NWQL ASR Defaults
The sections "Special Project or Program Information" and "NWQL ASR" Defaults" are provided for a Project to :
- Select a USGS Program (such as "National Water Quality Assessment;" "Cooperative Water Program;" "Federal Benchmark Sites)
- List any cooperators with the project
- For "National Water Quality Assessment program (NAWQA) Projects fill out values used on NWQL ASRs.
- "NWQL ASR" Defaults" is conditionally displayed when "National Water Quality Assessment" is selected in the Program selection box
Figure. "Special Project or Program Information" section
Figure. NWQL ASR Defaults is displayed when "National Water Quality Assessment" is selected in the Program selection box. Here you can fill out values that will be used when you create ASRs for the National Water Quality Lab (NWQL).
