More Information About REDCap
Vanderbilt Consortium
Developed at Vanderbilt in 2004 by Paul A. Harris and colleagues, and later supported by the National Center for the Advancement of Translational Sciences (NCATS) Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program, REDCap was initially built to support research studies and operations. Their success is evidenced by REDCap's popularity and adoption in new areas. REDCap is currently used by millions of people at non-profit and academic centers around the world for research, quality improvement, clinical applications, health services management, training/education and more.
