Overview
REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) is a largely self-service, secure, web-based application for study teams to use in building and managing data collection forms. REDCap provides data management functionality by allowing the development of eCRFs and surveys to support data capture for research studies. This differs from OnCore, which is a clinical trials management system that provides assistance managing the entire range of study management activities.
- SMPH REDCap is not required for any type of clinical research study, but it is recommended in lieu of a typical spreadsheet, database software, or data management application to manage your research study data due to the additional levels of security, audit trails, reporting, and exporting functionality it offers.
- SMPH REDCap may also be used for studies under the purview of the ICTR Data Monitoring Committee.
- With SMPH REDCap, members of your study team with data management skills can build and revise the electronic data collection tools (e.g. forms, surveys, etc.).
