CRO REQUEST FORM

The CRO recommends Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) for research data collection and management. 

Most clinical research studies should use our internal REDCap site for data collection.  Databases that feature collection of protected health information, such as retrospective chart reviews and prospective trial case report forms, should be created and maintained on this internal site.  Please contact Loyola's Help Desk to request access.

The external REDCap site may only be used for specific project types, which include: multi-center studies, projects that require external participants to complete surveys, or studies that require e-Consent.  The principal investigator for the study may complete the External REDCap Request Form here:
