REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) was created in 2004 at Vanderbilt University. It originally supported a small group of clinical researchers who needed a secure data collection tool that met HIPAA compliance standards. REDCap is now used by over 7922 institutions across 162 countries, supporting 2.4 million projects. This seminar will review REDCap at the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB), with a focus on best practices for effective database design. It will also address the transition to a new REDCap platform, highlighting new campus requirements, recently introduced features, and the updated support model. Attendees will gain practical guidance on migrating projects to the new platform, including key considerations for managing active studies during the transition.
