REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) Consultant - Remote

REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) is a secure, web-based platform for building and managing online surveys and databases, designed specifically for clinical and academic research. It was developed by Vanderbilt University and is provided free to non-profit research institutions through a global consortium, which is why it's so widely used in hospitals, universities, and health systems. Researchers use it to design data collection instruments without needing to code, capture study data (including patient-reported outcomes and survey responses), and manage it in a way that supports regulatory compliance — it's built to meet HIPAA, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and similar standards for handling sensitive research data. Common uses include clinical trials, registries, and multi-site studies where data needs to be collected consistently and audited. The short version: it's the go-to tool for research teams to securely collect and manage study and survey data, popular because it's compliant, easy for non-technical staff to use, and free to qualifying institutions.
