REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) is a secure, web-based application for building and managing online databases and surveys. Developed at Vanderbilt University and made freely available to other institutions, our Washington University instance of REDCap is managed by the Institute for Informatics, Data Science and Biostatistics. Check out the recordings below to learn what REDCap is and how to use it to collect and manage your research data.
Please note: Washington University is currently using REDCap Version 13 Production Server. Some of the recordings below were created in earlier versions. The information covered in the recordings created in earlier versions is still relevant to the current version of REDCap.
