REDCap & Internet Sites for Test Instruments

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 
  • You may find a site that will define the test and give information about purchasing copies of the test, or, with great good luck, will find the test itself freely available online.
