REDCap Winter 2024 Virtual Office Hours 

Date: Alternating Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays

REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) is a secure web application that University of Toronto researchers can use to build and manage online surveys and databases. While REDCap can be used to collect virtually any type of data, it is specifically built to support online or offline data capture for research studies.

The Centre for Research and Innovation Support (CRIS) in collaboration with Academic & Collaborative Technologies (ACT) is hosting REDCap Office Hours. This will provide an avenue for a one-on-one consultation with a REDCap expert to answer questions and address issues related to your REDCap projects.
