REDCap Overview
REDCap is a secure, web-based application that facilitates data collection for research and operational purposes. The software is HIPAA-compliant, and the data collected is stored on a secure server at FSU. The added security of FSU servers makes this software ideal for use for projects that include protected health information (PHI) or other sensitive information.
Medicine 🡪 ITS Migration (updated Spring 2026)
We have completed the migration of REDCap to the new ITS server, excepting those projects that were approved for extension.

Self-Guided Training in Canvas#
We offer a series of online courses for REDCap users of varying experience levels to use at your own pace. Modules are organized to teach users concepts and possibilities based on your project role. Modules are broken up into different levels, so you can start at the skill level that makes sense for you and your role.
Consortium Lunch, Learn, and Collaborate Meetings#
We hold monthly lunch, learn, and collaborate meetings to discuss REDCap and related topics. The purpose of these meetings is to bring FSU REDCap users together to learn what's new, discover how others are using REDCap, answer general project questions, and provide examples of best practices. We are delighted to have guest speakers at each virtual meeting to present their project and use-cases of REDCap.
