Project Setup and Online Designer

Creating a REDCap project begins with project setup. The setup process usually requires a project title, project purpose, project type, notes, and sometimes institutional metadata such as principal investigator, department, or IRB reference. The project title should be clear and specific enough to distinguish it from training or test projects. A title such as "Pediatric Fever Follow-up Cohort 2026" is more useful than "Malaria Study" because it communicates population, subject, and timeframe.
