Add MedStar data to REDCap

[mbcann01]

Overview

If Morri decides to go this route, we will add the MedStar data to a REDCap database. We would do this to eliminate the need to share files through shared folders and reduce the risk of accidentally pushing data to GitHub.

Tasks

• [x] Sign up for a REDCap account. There are actually two choices here. UTHealth has a REDCap instance and the School of Public Health also has a REDCap instance. For either, you need to request access. I'm not aware of any big differences between the two instances. I think the UTHealth instance might be running a slightly newer version of REDCap. All else being equal, we may want to use that one.
• [x] Create a REDCap project that can store the data.
• [x] Add Brad to the project.
• [ ] Import the raw data into REDCap.
• [x] Request an API for the project.
• [x] Test importing data into R/Python via the API.
• [ ] Document the process in an SOP/Continuity Guide.
