REDCap is available through the Biomedical Informatics Core (BMIC) of the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) at the University of Utah. "The REDCap Shared Library is a repository for REDCap data collection instruments and forms that can be downloaded and used by researchers at REDCap partner institutions."
Quick Start: Search Google
Using the Google or Google Scholar search boxes to the left of this page, enter the title of the instrument.
- Be sure that you have the correct title for the instrument
