Request REDcap support

UMass Chan Medical School REDCap is secure web-based application for building and managing online surveys and databases. This application was developed at Vanderbilt University.

UMass Chan Medical School deploys REDCap application for use by our researchers and their study collaborators. Clinical study groups utilize REDCap functions via an intuitive interface to generate custom databases and/or surveys for data collection and study management including site and personnel management. REDCap provides audit trails for tracking data manipulation and export procedures, as well as seamless data downloads to common statistical packages and data import from non-REDCap data sources. UMass Chan Medical School REDCap is supported by the Research Technology Division of Information Technology (IT).

The UMass Chan Medical School REDCap application resides in a secure network environment based on ISO 27002 designed to support PHI data capture and storage.

The REDCap application is accessed only through the graphical user interface and is LDAP and password protected. All REDCap non-system level users only have visibility to data in databases permitted for access. In a REDCap database, PHI data export and visibility on web pages can be managed by tagging such data fields in a REDCap data dictionary during the database setup process with appropriate role assignments using REDCap's “User Right”.

In addition, the REDCap Send-it function is used for encrypted data file transfer via the internet.
