Study-specific databases are created using data dictionaries provided by the research team. After an initial demonstration, research teams use a custom MS-Excel file template to provide project metadata. The informatics team uses this file to create a prototype web application that researchers can test while revising their data dictionary. Once consensus is reached by the research team on the entire data collection CRF package, the application is moved to production status for study initiation.
