Tools
SMPH Informatics supports data-driven discovery across the School of Medicine and Public Health. The program provides secure infrastructure, institutional applications, data lifecycle tools, affiliated research programs, and compliance support for NIH data sharing requirements.
OnCore
OnCore is a centralized Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) that allows researchers to use one program to manage various components of clinical research while maintaining consistency and compliance across the institution.
REDCap
REDCap is a secure web-based application that provides data management functionality by allowing the development of electronic instruments and surveys to support data capture for research studies, including those that involve protected health information (PHI).
iLab
iLab is an online tool for researchers that streamlines service requests, equipment reservations, and billing with UW shared services. Study teams engage with the system as Groups/Labs, while the UW shared services engage with the system as Cores.
DocuSign
