REDCap Community is an online platform for software downloads, extensive technical documentation, a question/answer forum, consortium announcements, committee activities, events, and more. It is only open to registered REDCap administrators from current partner sites. The Community website provides a forum for interaction and dialog about REDCap-related topics with REDCap administrators around the globe. Participation is optional, but is highly recommended.
The Community site is a technical resource available only to the REDCap administrators/IT staff supporting each REDCap system. Its primary focus is the installation, maintenance, and ongoing support of REDCap across the consortium. REDCap administrators, not end-users, handle those things, so only REDCap administrators can leverage Community. It’s not an end-user forum, and it doesn’t have resources related to project development, study design, data management, or statistical analyses.
A login is required to access Community. This is provided to an organization’s REDCap administrators after joining the consortium. A limited number of Community accounts are available for each organization; it isn’t an open or unregulated platform.
Lack of activity on the Community site may cause a temporary deactivation of an account. If you are an administrator with an existing account and you are having trouble logging in, please email redcap@vumc.org with your name, the email associated with your Community account, and your Community user name (if available).
