Guest WashU REDCap Accounts

People not affiliated with WashU such as external collaborators can obtain access to WashU REDCap. The user must receive a WashU Key and password.  There are two primary methods to obtain a WashU key:

1. Guest WashU Key: A WashU sponsor completes the WashU Key Guest Account Request Form.  A Sponsor is a current faculty or staff member willing to represent a guest. The Sponsor must be able to prove the guest’s identity and their need for a WashU Key Guest Account. This form needs to be completed for EVERY external collaborator, not one form per site.  See the links below full description of obtaining a Guest WashU Key:
