The Office of Clinical Research (OCR) research credentialing team is pleased to announce that from April 17, we will be utilizing a REDCap Research Credentialing Application to replace our original paper format. The purpose of the electronic application (eApplication)
is to establish a central research credentialing application site for all three organizations: UT Southwestern, Parkland, and Children’s Health and help streamline research credentialing for study teams. Currently, the REDCap Research Credentialing Application
covers UTSW and Parkland. We are closely working with Children’s Health to get them onboard soon and will keep you informed of progress. We are currently testing the system and will be using the below processes for credentialing going forward:<o:p class="ContentPasted0"> </o:p></p>
