Clinical trials
I wonder if Sp. (MEX) uses “protocolo” and “proyecto” interchangeably in the context of clinical trials. In the phrases "Aprobación inicial de nuevo sitio para el protocolo nnn", and "información de su sitio de investigación para participar en el protocolo arriba mencionado", I would expect a “site” to be associated with the project - the trial itself - rather than the protocol, which, as I understand it, is the document governing the proyecto. My research has not elucidated the question, but it might be that protocolo has come to designate the proyecto, in which case I would want to use "project" in some contexts and "protocol" in others. Any guidance welcome!

: I can see why Nigel asked this. The protocol isn't just the piece of paper, it's the way the study is carried out, so they are interchangeable.

But a project is different. Don't you agree?
