What is REDCap?

REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) is a secure, web-based platform that allows you to create and manage online surveys as well as research databases. It is ideal for academic, clinical, and multi-site studies.

Why use REDCap as a survey tool?

  • Secure & compliant: Meets HIPAA, GDPR, and 21 CFR Part 11 standards

  • Customizable: Build surveys, forms, and longitudinal projects

  • Enables collaboration: Multi-site and team workflows

  • Mobile & offline: Use the MyCap app to collect data directly from participants

  • Widely adopted: Used in more than 150 countries with millions of projects worldwide

What makes this tool unique for research?

REDCap is much more secure than traditional survey tools, making it ideal for collecting sensitive or regulated data. It complies with HIPAA, GDPR, FISMA, and 21 CFR Part 11 standards—far beyond what most platforms offer. This level of security is essential for research involving personal, clinical, or confidential information.
