Columbia University’s ICAP Research Reporting Tool

Columbia University’s International Centre for AIDS Care and Treatment Program (ICAP) is a leader in global AIDS/HIV research. For the past 3 years, Expression Web has been working with ICAP to reshape the way they conduct health research in Africa.

ICAP collects data for their research with the expertise of field agents spread across the African continent. Expression has created a tool that allows these agents, even in remote locations, to exchange data and analyses with ICAP personnel at Columbia. Using the shared data, the information can be manipulated to generate different comprehensive reports. ICAP has called this tool the Unified Reporting System (URS).

The needs of ICAP have grown since the original conception of the reporting tool and as a result the evolution of the URS has continued and it is now easier to use, more efficient and has additional features. Expression is proud to have developed Columbia’s URS and recognizes that our development efforts have provided new and exciting possibilities in the way that ICAP conducts research.

Expression’s contract with Columbia has been renewed to the end of 2012. A new and improved version of the reporting system, suitably named URS 2.0 is scheduled for release in late 2012.

I remember when it was a very scary thing to purchase anything online. Putting your credit card on the internet was the equivalent of leaving your purse in those cubby holes before you get aboard a rollercoaster ride. However since the invention of buy-sell sites like eBay followed by purchasing platforms like PayPal, online consumer purchasing discomfort has subsided. READ MORE
