We recently launched a new project to help a Columbia research group to build and maintain a RedCap Database collecting data on COVID19 status and transplant outcomes in both donors and recipients. The RedCap Database will be used to collect and maintain data from 20 hospitals/centers! The primary focus of the project is on liver transplant patients, but will comprise other transplant patient information for larger potential collaborations in the future. The team is ready to get to work!

Faculty contact: Dr. Elizabeth Verna
Project Summary
Shortly after the launch of CRAC, data management quickly became one of our core competencies as there was a great demand from external collaborators and we had very talented and data-savvy volunteers. These projects had straightforward, though not necessarily simple, objectives - help our external collaborators manage existing or emerging databases, whether it’s data for the IRB, transplant patients, or the CCU. Toward those goals, our volunteers worked very hard at cleaning data, designing databases, and managing surveys. While it is hard for us to share any specific information about any of the databases as they are not meant to be publicly available, we are very happy to say that we have indeed accomplished all of the goals. We are almost sad that everything went so smooth it nearly looked boring from the outside!
