Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap)
- The REDCap Consortium is comprised of 242 active institutional partners from CTSA, GCRC, RCMI and other institutions, and it supports a secure web application (REDCap) designed exclusively to support data capture for research studies. The REDCap application allows users to build and manage online surveys and databases quickly and securely, and is currently in production use or development build-status for more than 17,830 studies with over 26,030 end-users spanning numerous research focus areas across the consortium.
