REDCap is an application that allows users to build and manage online surveys and databases quickly and securely. Research Intelligence & Data Infrastructure has a REDCap installation that is available for use at no cost to all University of Miami employees. All REDCap data is securely hosted by the University of Miami’s IT Department. Research Intelligence & Data Infrastructure administers project creation, user account management, and movement of projects from development to production. Authentication is performed via CaneID Authentication Service (CAS), the same institution-wide system used for a variety of applications such as myUM.
REDCap is accessible to all UM Faculty, Staff, and Students. External users can also access REDCap if they have a CaneID. To register for a Cane ID, please click here. No access request form is required to log into this application.
Although the University of Miami’s REDCap application is a web-based, secure, and HIPAA compliant system, there are three categories of studies that are not REDCap eligible:
** Please note: The e-Consent Framework is 21 CFR Part 11 Compliant. This module may be used for studies that require compliance with 21 CFR Part 11. To understand when 21 CFR Part 11 applies, please click here.
If your project falls into any of the above, then Velos eResearch is the application you should use. Please see the Clinical Research Participant Enrollment and Tracking Policy (PDF) for more information.
If your Research does not require 21 CFR Part 11 compliance or involve an investigational new drug or device, but requires tracking for billing compliance, you may still use REDCap as a supplemental system to Velos as long as all participants are registered in Velos for billing compliance purposes.
If your Research does not require compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 nor billing, you may be required to use REDCap for patient enrollment management and tracking. Please reference the Enrollment Tracking Using REDCap Policy to understand if you fall under this enrollment requirement.
