Background

REDCap is a secure web application for building and managing online surveys and databases that supports multi-centre clinical trials with appropriate security/audit trail features. It has an increasingly broad international community of 5.3k consortium members and 1.7m users. REDCap supports a broad range of use cases in research practice, research administration and non-research related operational activities.

Task

In this BoF we focus on how REDCap can ensure quality research data collection and management practices, as well as a range of other research related use cases. Furthermore as a mature extensible platform, REDCap can be integrated with other enterprise applications, presenting great opportunities for building complex research pipelines.

Action

The BoF will follow this structure:

-Introduction – How REDCap supports research data management: data integrity, quality and project risk management (5 min)

-Rapid demonstration of a range of use cases (5 min)

-Further exploration of several (up to 4) use cases varying from simple to complex (10 min each)

-Open discussion with attendees of support structure for using and administering REDCap (20 min)

-Announcements of further community involvement opportunities for attendees (10 min)

Result

This session will continue the growth of the community of Australian and New Zealand REDCap administrators, and bring together administrators, users, and interested engineers to collaboratively strengthen REDCap for data collection and management in our region.

This will benefit:

-Researchers

-Research administrators

-Administrators and technical users of REDCap in Australia and New Zealand

-Research Software Engineers working with REDCap and other applications
