External REDCap Site Goes Live

The external Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) site is now available for research use.  This allows researchers and participants to access REDCap functions such as data entry, surveys, and electronic consenting from off-campus networks.  This also facilitates multicenter studies by allowing Loyola to be the host data site.  More information can be found on the REDCap page.  To request access to the external REDCap site, please submit the External REDCap Access Request form.

Loyola Participates in the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C)

Loyola has started sending clinical data to the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C).  Earlier this fall, Loyola signed a Data Transfer Agreement (DTA) with the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) to participate in the N3C Data Enclave.  The N3C is a national resource that will enable large cohort Covid-19 clinical research.  A Data Use Agreement (DUA) is planned soon to allow Loyola researchers to request N3C data.  More information on N3C and how to request data can be found on the NCATS-N3C page.
