Study Feasibility Form in REDCap
This Monday, January 20, is the go-live for CCTO new electronic Study Feasibility Form. CRCs will use REDCap to submit all new studies feasibility evaluation for their managers’ approval. This secure, user-friendly form can be accessed at https://is.gd/feasibility_form. Attached to the Feasibility questionnaire you will find resource tools (users’ manual) that you can access online.
The users’ manuals are available at the CCTO website: Staff Resources > Coordinator’s Corner > Guidelines for Practice > Study Initiation > Feasibility Form User Guides. Managers will be presenting the electronic tool on staff meetings and discussing with CRCs how to use it. The centralized Feasibility evaluation will foster audit for completions and track projects for workforce forecasting.
