Introduction
Welcome to REDCap 101!
...
By the end of this course, you should be able to quickly build and use REDCap projects for your various studies and projects.
ProTrackS
As mentioned earlier, ProTrackS is a web-based service request system for the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI). ProTrackS provides the ability for you to request research and operational services from any of the CTSI Cores and Services. ProTrackS creates a CTSI ID for your projects so we can track the services and resources you need for your research projects.
...
Select "Request Services" if you need to use REDCap for one of your studies or projects. You will then be taken to a survey that you will need to complete.
...
Please make sure to complete all sections that you are taken to within this survey.
...
For the CTSI services, make sure to select "Biomedical Informatics Core", as this is the core that provides all REDCap related services and resources.
...
Make sure to take note and remember the CTSI ID that you are provided, as this will be important when requesting a new REDCap project or further services from the REDCap team. This is located at the bottom of the second page of the survey.
...
Please also make sure to fill out the BMIC Project Information survey as well.
...
Once you enter all the information required for your REDCap project, you will be shown your CTSI ID again. Make sure to remember your CTSI ID!
...
Once you've reached the following screen- congratulations! You've registered your project in ProTrackS.
