研究电子数据捕获 (REDCap) 数据管理平台于 2004 年开发，旨在满足范德比尔特大学的机构需求，然后从 2006 年开始与有限数量的采用站点共享。鉴于早期共享实验的双向优势，我们为任何希望采用该软件的学术、非营利或政府合作伙伴创建了更广泛的联盟共享和支持模型。我们的共享框架和基于联盟的支持模式随着时间的推移以及联盟的规模而不断发展（目前在 128 个国家/地区拥有 3200 多个 REDCap 合作伙伴）。虽然“REDCap Consortium”模型仅代表了如何构建和传播软件平台的一个示例，但从我们的方法中汲取的经验教训可能会帮助其他寻求构建和传播创新技术的研究机构。
The Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) data management platform was developed in 2004 to address an institutional need at Vanderbilt University, then shared with a limited number of adopting sites beginning in 2006. Given bi-directional benefit in early sharing experiments, we created a broader consortium sharing and support model for any academic, non-profit, or government partner wishing to adopt the software. Our sharing framework and consortium-based support model have evolved over time along with the size of the consortium (currently more than 3200 REDCap partners across 128 countries). While the "REDCap Consortium" model represents only one example of how to build and disseminate a software platform, lessons learned from our approach may assist other research institutions seeking to build and disseminate innovative technologies.
