REDCap is a secure web application for building and managing online surveys and databases. While REDCap can be used to collect virtually any type of data in any environment (including compliance with 21 CFR Part 11, FISMA, HIPAA, and GDPR), it is specifically geared to support online and offline data capture for research studies and operations. The REDCap Consortium, a vast support network of collaborators, is composed of thousands of active institutional partners in over one hundred countries who utilize and support their own individual REDCap systems. Please visit the Join page to learn how your non-profit organization can join the consortium, or explore the first section on our FAQ for other options to use REDCap.

Purpose

Data management and survey data collection.

How it works

  • Create data projects on the platform for your study by clicking on “Request New REDcap project” puzzle and add collaborators to join your project once approval is notified by email.

  • Create data collection surveys to enter data, manage entered data, and export data for analysis on Microsoft Excel, SAS, SPSS, R, STATA, and XML.

  • Investigators are also permitted to use REDCap for participant consent if their study meets both of the following criteria:

    • the study has been determined to be a minimal risk study by the IRB  

    • the study has been granted a Waiver of Documentation of Consent  (section 14 in eIRB)
