Because research projects differ vastly within and across disciplines, there is no "one size fits all" support checklist that the library is able to offer. However, there are certain aspects of the research process and using REDCap that we are more than happy to help with:

• Basic On-Boarding Training for REDCap Users—become familiar with all that REDCap has to offer as well as learn where to get help when you need it.
• Account Management—creation of your account, password resets, and basic troubleshooting for your account
• Project Consultations—provide guidance with basic design and suggestions for data input strategies if you get stuck
• Training Sessions—help for you and your team at any stage in your project

The Library will also facilitate any consultations with ITS and Research Computing on any REDCap application performance issues.

At the library, we are happy to help where we can, but there are some areas where we just cannot offer assistance:

• Create, configure, or maintain projects
• Entering or editing data in projects
• Running reports or generating analysis of project data

Though we are not able to offer direct support in these areas, if you need help, don't hesitate to reach out and we will try our best to direct you to helpful resources.
