Description 

Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) is a secure and HIPAA-compliant web-based system for building and managing web-based research projects, such as surveys and databases. The REDCap system provides functionality and features to enable researchers to rapidly develop databases and online surveys. These databases, data entry forms and surveys are intuitive, easy-to-use tools for collecting data, including data validation.

The REDCap service at UCSF provides access to compliant electronic data capture platforms across three product tiers to meet the community's diverse research needs.

  • REDCap: Free self-service data platform with user-created custom databases, data capture, surveys, and robust integrations. Approved for electronic consent, but not Part 11 compliant.
  • REDCap Premium: Managed platform with additional access control and costs. Electronic consent Part 11 compliant; full platform validation planned.
  • REDCap Cloud: Fully Part 11 compliant third-party EDC platform. More costly and projects may require professional services to launch.

Benefits

  • Data Export Utility - All three tiers allow researchers to export their data in an automated manner into formats that are compatible with commonly used statistical analysis packages, such as SAS, SPSS, Stata and R.
  • Advanced features - Advanced features include branching logic for dynamic data-entry-form generation, file uploading, data importing and embedded calculated database fields.
  • Fully Customizable - You are in total control of shaping your database or survey.
  • Fast and Flexible - Conception to production-level database or survey in less than one day.

Support

The preferred method to request technical support for the UCSF REDCap system can be requested directly from any of your projects using the blue "Contact REDCap administrator" link on the bottom left of every page in your project:

Contact REDCap Administrator

This will open an interactive help system which will create a service ticket for your issue containing project metadata that will help our team better respond to your question. In almost all cases, if you submit a question or request via email, you will be redirected to this system.
