Scientific IT Help: How to duplicate a project

Dear REDCap Team,

My project is in production mode and as I was filling in the data, I realized it would actually have been more convenient to create two distinct projects :

We collect data from two different populations (patients, and healthcare professionals) and by two different data-collectors (by on-site coordinators, and by myself). Thus, the Dashboard shows a half-completion of the instruments, since participants only fill in the ones that concern them.

This can create confusion for the people filling the data (and for cleaning up the database).

Would it be possible to duplicate the project, thus allowing a clear distinction between the two data sets ?

Thank you for you advice,

Jade

Dear Jade,

Are you talking about project P222_INTEGR-ÂGE ?

Regarding the "two different populations": Since your study is longitudinal, then what I would suggest is to create two different study arms, one for "patients" and one for "healthcare professionals". This would enable you to have, in the same REDCap project, two distinct dashboards with distinct instruments assigned to each study arm.

Regarding the "two different data-collectors": we would need to make use of the Data Access Groups (DAG) functionality which can be enabled and configured under "User Rights".

Since your project is in production and this is a rather complex issue which would require the intervention of a REDCap admin, would you mind contacting us by email so that we can setup a Teams meeting to guide you through the process?

Best,

C.
