What is REDCap?

REDCap is a secure user friendly web-based application for building and managing online surveys and databases. REDCap was originally developed by Vanderbilt University in 2004 and in 2006, the REDCap consortium officially launched to include institutions and non-profits to help expand the software development.

While REDCap can be used to collect virtually any type of data, it is specifically geared to support online or offline data capture for research studies and operations.

No prior programming knowledge or technical experience is needed to use REDCap. Researchers can directly manage their own projects whenever and however they wish, through any browser on any device.
