The Yale Study Support Suite (YES3) are general software tools designed at Yale and released to the REDCap consortium for worldwide use.

These global External Modules (EMs) work within REDCap to:

  • Coordinate workflow and assignments
  • Automate tasks
  • Track milestones
  • Monitor study progress
  • Improve data quality
  • Share information and reports
  • Build datamarts

YES3 is intended to fast-track research by providing software that can be used (together or separately) and customized to YOUR project needs.  The modules expand the functionality of REDCap and are meant to be used by experienced REDCap-designers.

We hope research teams find creative use-cases for the software and, if you are software designer, that you build upon this work. The current iteration of YES3 is based on software systems designed, deployed, and perfected over several decades on a series of Yale School of Medicine projects by the Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Center (OAIC), under the leadership of Peter Charpentier.

How much does it cost? 

This work was funded by the NIH through: 

YES3 modules are supported through software development grants and individual research grants.  

  • For Yale/YNHH users, YES3 modules may require fees for local support and implementation. 
  • For the global community, YES3 modules are made available at no cost for implementation through the Vanderbilt Consortium. 
    • Administrators should familiarize themselves with the software to provide local support. 

EM documentation contains the funding source and grant number.  If you used YES3 software to support your research, we greatly appreciate an acknowledgement of the software, funding source, and grant number so we can continue this important work.
