Established in 2016, REDCap Day (Research Electronic Data Capture) is an annual event featuring presentations and workshops for the Vanderbilt and Meharry Medical College research community. For the third year in a row, REDCap Day was hosted virtually.
There were three morning-long sessions, Feb. 1-3, drawing 415 attendees from a total of 158 departments representing Vanderbilt and Meharry. See the full agenda here.
“The REDCap Day Conference is designed to inform and empower researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Vanderbilt University and Meharry Medical College,” said Paul Harris, PhD, professor of Biomedical Informatics, director of the Office of Research Informatics at the Vanderbilt Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (VICTR) and creator of REDCap.
“REDCap is an evolving platform, so it’s a great venue to share high-level ‘what’s new and what’s next?’ information for the platform along with deeper-dive demonstrations for newer features and functions,” he said.
“Attendance was high across all three days, and we received dozens of requests for the video recordings and presentation slides. I think this demonstrates the value of REDCap education and the REDCap Day event to our Vanderbilt community,” says Stephany Duda, PhD, associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Informatics and host of REDCap Day.
“Our entire Vanderbilt community has contributed to the development of REDCap through ideas, feedback, testing, training and support. REDCap Day is an educational event, but it is also a celebration of the impactful research support tools we have created together.”
