Cupo

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general)
Translating a manuscript that uses "cupo" in a way I'm not used to. Am using "quota" so far but am wondering if there's a better word. (I've looked at the other Proz answers and don't see it there either...unless perhaps "allotment"? Still not thrilled with it.)

ÁMBITO Y PARTICIPANTES.
Área de Xestión Integrada de Vigo, con 583.124 habitantes.
19 médicos de familia (MF), pertenecientes a 12 servicios de AP.

Los pacientes invitados a participar serán todos los varones de 65 a 74, adscritos al cupo de los investigadores (aprox. 1234). La cohorte de control serán varones de igual edad pertenecientes a restantes cupos del área.

Many thanks,

Juliette

I do think it means quota, but I'm not sure I understand "adscritos al cupo de los investigadores". Does it mean "recruited in accordance with the investigators' quota?"

vacancy/vacancies

I think "vacancies" would fit in this context, the same word "vacantes" would fit into Spanish

agree Diplomonde : This is correct as in occupy or fill a spot
