IU REDCap

IU's Research Electronic Data Capture (IU REDCap) is a self-managed, secure, web-based platform designed to support data collection and data management for research, operations support, and quality improvement projects. REDCap's easy-to-use, intuitive features allow users to rapidly build and manage secure online surveys and databases.* Extensive training available 24/7 via video archives.*

IU REDCap Day

IU REDCap Day at IUPUI and online brings together users and potential users of REDCap to share presentations, learn about new features, and network with peers. Register early and help us decide what to have on the program. * PDFs of all the presentations are now available online.*

Jetstream Overview: A national research and education cloud

This workshop introduces IU researchers to Jetstream, a cloud resource supporting education and research. *Virtual workshop available online.*

National Center for Genome Analysis Support

The National Center for Genome Analysis Support (NCGAS) offered training and outreach online and in-person at Indiana University (IUB and IUPUI) and at national/international conferences. NCGAS workshop attendees became more efficient in genome analysis via supercomputers and software designed specifically for their field of research/study.
