One of the great things about using data collection software is its ability to automate otherwise tedious or redundant tasks. To pull previously collected data into fields within a single project, use REDCap’s piping feature. Similarly, to pipe data into an instrument at various points...
Have you considered the best ways to involve the community in your scientific research? This is a big question with many parts – Who is ‘the community’? What are the benefits of community engagement to research? At what stage of research should you engage communities?...
They have spent years working with patients, communities, and basic research to hone their skills in clinical and translational science. Now, thanks to the ITHS KL2 Multidisciplinary Clinical Research Career Development Program, three early-career investigators will have the dedicated research time, mentorship, and funding they...
Join us on February 20th to learn what is involved in the commercialization process and hear about some real-world examples of successes and failures. If you are not located in Seattle, join us via the live webcast. Registration is required....
Certain research studies seek to capture the same data over time in order to track change and progress. Longitudinal projects in REDCap can enable smooth, timely data collection and minimize the set-up burden of repeatedly used instruments. Enabling longitudinal data collection in REDCap allows any form...
The Clinical and Translational Science Award program works diligently to improve research tools and processes at hubs all across the country. With over fifty different hubs, the national effort is coordinated centrally through the Center for Leading Innovation and Collaboration (CLIC). CLIC is the CTSA...
Many researchers are tucking in to finish their first National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant proposals or IRB applications of the year. A number of changes to federal regulations and NIH policies relevant to clinical and translational research take effect in January 2019. Revising the rule...
This year, awardees will tackle research challenges ranging from alternative treatments for the opioid epidemic through health related applications in mobile technology. The Institute of Translational Health Sciences offers annual pilot awards for novel, innovative, and collaborative clinical research. Our three largest funding mechanisms are...
As your volume of reports in REDCap grows, they can become unruly and difficult to manage. Having the ability to organize or hide reports in the left-hand navigation pane of your project can mitigate this challenge. Now, with "Add/Edit Reports" privileges, you can create folders...
