What is a Study Account?

A Study Account is a collection of REDCap projects serving the same purpose. 

  • For research, a Study Account identifies REDCap projects under ONE research protocol (HIC # or HSC #).  The Principal Investigator is responsible for all projects under a REDCap study account. 
  • For non-research, a Study Account identifies the REDCap projects that have the same objectives, population and/or funding source. 

Many study accounts have only one REDCap project, but some studies require more.  This helps us track interconnected projects within and between servers so we can provide better services. 

Note: A Study Account is NOT a REDCap User Account.  User Accounts are assigned to an individual to access the REDCap system.  Study Accounts are assigned to track REDCap projects across servers.
