To meet the need for high-quality data capture and management in modern research, CTRIC offers a variety of tools to the UMB research community.

Our staff is trained to help researchers utilize the most current technological advantages. Many generic resources can be customized to meet the needs of your study.

REDCap is a secure, web-based application for building and managing online surveys and databases. Learn more about REDCap by watching this video.

Now researchers can access all the details of a study from anywhere using REDCap. Log in to the secure site and enter data, manage subjects, update protocol details, manage users, export a dataset, verify data entry, and more. Our staff can help researchers set up rules to automate data verification. Give any member of the study team access to the study site with varying levels of permission and user status.

There is no cost to access REDCap, and a limited amount of complimentary help desk assistance will be provided. If you need more assistance than that, or you would like to have someone from our team build and maintain the database for you, we can discuss a pricing structure (contact Tamar Pair).
