Enrolled against target
How many participants have joined, against the number the study set out to recruit.
Grant and sponsor reporting
Reports that come from your records,
not a rebuilt spreadsheet
Every funder, sponsor or committee report asks for the same study numbers in a slightly different shape. We build reporting that reads from your study records, so the numbers match what your team sees.

How can a research lab produce grant and sponsor reports without rebuilding a spreadsheet each time?
A lab can produce funder, sponsor and committee reports directly from its study records. The rules for what counts as enrolled, active or complete are written down once, and the reports read from the same records the team works in, so the numbers always match. Andolasoft builds this reporting for labs without a software team. It produces the numbers and tables, and the lab's team writes and submits the report.
What changes
Rebuilt by hand versus from the study records
The same four report jobs, done two ways.
| Report task | Rebuilt by hand | From the study records |
|---|---|---|
| Enrolment against target | Counted from a spreadsheet, then pasted into the report. | Counted from participant records, always matching what the team sees. |
| Active and completed participants | Filters applied by one person who remembers the rules. | The same rules applied every time, written down once. |
| Withdrawals and drop-outs | Found by scanning status columns. | Counted from participant status, with the date each change was made. |
| Committee and sponsor requests | A new sheet each time someone asks. | A saved report that updates from the records. |
The numbers
Four counts most progress reports ask for
Your funder may ask for more, and we start from the reports you have already sent.
Currently active
Participants who are in the study today, by group or site if you have more than one.
Completed visits
Visits done against visits scheduled, and which are overdue.
Withdrawn or lost to follow-up
Who left, when, and the reason where you record one.
How we build it
Four steps from last quarter's report to a reporting system
- 1
List the numbers each report needs
We go through the last few reports you sent and write down every number, and how it was worked out.
- 2
Write each rule down once
What counts as enrolled, active or complete is agreed with your team and fixed in the system.
- 3
Build the reports from your records
Reports read from the study records, so they cannot drift from what the team sees.
- 4
Check against a past report
We run the system on a period you have already reported, and compare the numbers with your team.
Questions about grant reporting
A system that produces the study numbers a funder, sponsor or committee asks for, such as enrolment, active participants and completed visits, directly from your study records. It replaces rebuilding the same spreadsheet for each report.
No. We produce the numbers and the tables. The narrative, the interpretation and the submission stay with your team.
We can shape the numbers and tables to the headings you report against. Formats differ between funders, so we start from a report you have already submitted and work from that.
From your study records. If those records are in spreadsheets today, a participant tracking system gives them one home first, and reports read from there.
The rules are written down in one place, so they can be changed with your team, and the change is dated. Reports after the change use the new rule.
