This will include technical design and development of a secure REDCap database and training of site study staff in appropriate use of the platform for data collection.

Specific Tasks NIH Ankle REDCap Development: Create a new REDCap database for the NIH Ankle study. This contract is for the development of one CRF that is to be duplicated and used to collect data at multiple yearly timepoints. This database will be a multi-site data capture tool that utilizes user roles and groups in order to protect data. Data Management: Interact with REDCap staff to build database within their secure network. Train site coordinator in data entry of new database and maintain consistency of data collection throughout duration of study until final study data lock. B.
