Using REDCap for Developing Data Collection Forms and Surveys
Register: https://go.osu.edu/introredcap
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 (including 21 CFR Part 11, FISMA, and HIPAA-compliant environments), it is specifically geared to support online or offline data capture for research studies and operations. Using REDCap’s streamlined process for developing projects, you may create surveys, databases, or a combination of both using our Online Designer with your preferred web browser, or offline by constructing a data dictionary within Excel.
REDCap accounts, training and consultation are offered to OSU investigators, faculty, and staff at no cost. Join Amy Drake, REDCap Specialist for Outreach and Education, for this workshop from the Center for Clinical and Translational Science. The CCTS provides financial, organizational (resource navigation, regulatory, recruitment, etc.), consultative, and educational support to catalyze research that impacts human health and human behavior, as well as opportunities for community members to participate and engage in research.
