Collaboration Leads to Innovative Clinical Trials Randomization When REDCap did not offer a way to use covariate-adaptive randomization algorithms (CARAs), researchers realized they would have to build their own software pipeline.

Check out the feature from @nucatsinstitute.bsky.social about DPM's Jacob Schauer, PhD, and Marc Broxton's collaboration on the all2GETHER study.

See how their work on a single study grew into a collaboration that has expanded to other researchers💡
