We are inviting you and your colleagues to participate in REDCap training. REDCap is a free and secure web-based application for building and managing online surveys and databases.

There are two levels of this training, Basics and Advanced, please see the descriptions below.

After each class there will be an opportunity for participants to ask questions or come with their project specific questions.

 

If you or someone you know are interested in learning more about the innovations of using REDCap for research at this institution, we invite you to register for one of the upcoming trainings.

 

These trainings will take place via Zoom. Pre-registration is required. Once you are registered, you will receive a confirmation email with your unique log in for the meeting, please save this information to facilitate logging into the workshop the day of the event.
