Members of the EQIPD consortium have identified and published 5 Domains for increasing rigour in animal experiments.
The 5 Domains are published in Nature Methods and very well supplement the concept of the EQIPD quality system.

Hot of the press and we are excited: The EQIPD framework for rigor in the design, conduct, analysis, and documentation of animal experiments. It defines the demands for five domains researchers should be aware of and the needs for them in research design and publications.
The Guarantors of EQIPD and PAASP Network are delighted to announce the launch of a joint effort to promote the EQIPD framework, to deliver and to further develop the EQIPD Quality System. We very much look forward to this next stage in the EQIPD journey.
On October 10, 2022, #EQIPD will lead a discussion on how to help funders and grant applicants align on research rigor expectations and avoid funding of research of unknown quality. Objectives of the meeting are to: Review lessons learned from the US and German publicly funded programs that focused directly or indirectly on decision-enabling research…
The “Guarantors of EQIPD” officially announced their launch with a public press release. The society is registered since December 2021 and became fully operational now. Read the press release here.
