HRPP Recommends REDCap

REDCap is a secure web-based application that is accessible on any web browser. REDCap is compliant with the Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 11 Electronic Records: Electronic Signatures, the Federal Information Security Modernization Act, the General Data Protection Regulation, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.

REDCap is a flexible application that can be used in a variety of ways, such as a data entry form to record participants’ vital signs or demographic data and for electronic informed consent securely capturing a participant’s signature. Single visit studies as well as longitudinal projects requiring scheduling at specific time points are both examples of REDCap’s versatility. REDCap is ideal for investigator-initiated studies and collaborative or multi-site projects as it allows secure access for external users.
