Dear REDCap user,
REDCap systems are being consolidated into four environments to improve performance and better support research needs. To help users navigate the new structure and find the right instance for their project, the REDCap Connect website is also being launched on April 27. The site will include training resources, a user forum, guidance for submitting requests for support, and updates about all four REDCap instances, which are:
UAMS Campuses REDCap Instances:
- Tier 1 REDCap: For researchers and staff independently managing research, quality improvement, and operational projects (formerly AR-CRIS REDCap)
- Tier 2 REDCap: For projects requiring development support, Epic integration, or 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. Use this instance for projects involving direct Epic data transfer, electronic consent, or FDA-regulated research (formerly CIRC REDCap)
Arkansas Children’s Campus REDCap Instances:
- Tier 1 REDCap: For researchers and staff independently managing research, quality improvement, and operational projects (formerly Arkansas Children’s REDCap)
- Tier 2 REDCap: For projects requiring development support, Epic integration, or 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. Use this instance for projects involving direct Epic data transfer, electronic consent, or FDA-regulated research (new instance)
In parallel, we are asking REDCap users to review their existing REDCap projects. Projects that have been inactive for more than 12 months will be archived on Oct. 15, 2026. To keep your project active:
- Log in and perform any activity (e.g., export data), OR
- Contact your REDCap administrator redcap@uams.edu / redcap@archildrens.org or Melody Greer mlgreer@uams.edu
Archived projects can be reinstated anytime if needed. No new projects will be added to the BASE/UAMS DOP instance as of April 27.
If you have any questions about REDCap Connect or archiving, please contact your REDCap administrator.
Thank you,
The REDCap Governance Committee
