REDCap

REDCap is a secure, browser-based application for constructing databases and designing and performing surveys.

You can control data collection instruments, fields, and participants from within the browser. You can import and export data from the application. A wide variety of user controls exist for project customization.

REDCap and all data contained within it are hosted on UVic infrastructure. This is physically located at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada.

We regularly update REDCap to the latest stable release.

If you already have access to a REDCap project, you can sign in now. Otherwise, read on to find out how to get started.
