The Universal Site Number (USN) is a unique identifier created and assigned by Veeva to research sites (example: US-KS-#####). This includes, but is not limited to, each department or distinct operational research unit within a hospital or academic medical center, each individual site within a site network, and any independent research site.
USN Purpose
- Site Connect users can save site addresses to the USN’s registry for easy access and use on future studies.
- Study Startup users can store answers to standard and reusable feasibility survey questions.
- The USN facilitates the connectivity between Site Connect and SiteVault for document exchange and additional tasks. For more information, see Connecting Site Connect to SiteVault.
Receiving a USN Assignment
Sites can receive a USN by:
- A self-service request during a Study Startup feasibility survey
- Entering a site address in Site Connect
- Automatic assignment when signing up for SiteVault.
