REDCap is a web-based data collection tool that is hosted by TraCS.  It's designed to be a user-friendly, do-it-yourself tool.  We've had a lot of success with it over the years.  It's good for many research studies, including prospective, retrospective, pilot studies, as well as for registries and Quality Improvement projects.

TraCS will be hosting free training to assist users in getting started with building REDCap data collection forms for their research projects.  The one and a half hour class will be held twice per month in room 226, Brinkhous-Bullitt.  Clarence Potter will be the instructor.  Clarence has been managing the TraCS REDCap service since its inception about 8 years ago.  Classes will also be available remotely, via Skype/Lynx.

The class will offer such topics as reports, exports, imports, data quality module, randomization, and mobile.

Additional resources available on project-redcap.org.
