Supporting research by members to improve digestive and liver health is one of the core charitable objectives of the British Society of Gastroenterology. To this end, the BSG Research Committee aims to provide resources to members to conduct and participate in collaborative multicentre studies. Following feedback from membership, one of the challenges identified in conducting multicentre observational studies and audits was the lack of access to a data capture application. The administration and data governance are often barrier for researchers with limited funding for their research projects. 

REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) is a secure, web-based application designed to support data capture for research studies, providing: 1) an intuitive interface for validated data entry, 2) audit trails for tracking data manipulation and export procedures, 3) automated export procedures for seamless data downloads to common statistical packages, and 4) procedures for importing data from external sources. The BSG has partnered with BiCOPS (Birmingham Centre for Observational and Prospective Studies) in providing support to BSG member researchers on a project-specific basis.
