"In" vs "On"

As a research documents reviewer, I've struggled with using the terms "on the study" vs "in the study." Would it make a difference if the person is the researcher vs. the participant? For example, is the researcher ON the study and the participant IN the study? or are they both IN the study because the protocol requires they follow boundaries?

It depends a lot on the context. Can you show us some complete sentences. eg There are 100 participants in the study.
