Overview
Developed by Vanderbilt University, REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) is a secure, HIPAA- and FERPA-compliant, web-based application for building and managing online surveys and databases.
As a member of the REDCap consortium, the software and support are available at no charge to ECU users and can be used for research, operational and quality improvement studies with the appropriate approvals.
The REDCap database and servers are housed within ECU's IT infrastructure so all data is secure. The Research & Multimedia Services team administers the software.
