The Guarantors of EQIPD (GoEQIPD) is a not-for-profit society established to oversee the implementation of the EQIPD Quality System (QS). We are seeking proposals from organisations who wish to work with us in providing mentoring and accreditation to laboratories wishing to meet EQIPD QS standards.
The need for quality standards in preclinical research is gaining attention, especially in translational research. The IMI-PainCare consortium has reached out to EQIPD to collaborate in assessing the study design and data analysis for their studies in the BioPain and TRiPP groups. This collaboration will ensure equivalent quality standards in preclinical research among their project…
The EQIPD Quality System is the result of a collaborative effort between several people and organizations, yet cannot specifically address all potential scenarios under which research rigor measures are needed and will be implemented. The foundation laid by EQIPD is formulated in the “core requirements” (see link below) and we welcome further efforts to support…
Have you been scorched by this year’s summer heat all over Europe already? Here are more hot summer-news from the EQIPD project: Find out more about the flaming-fresh series of 9 “EQIPD video blasts’’, our next Summer School, the EQIPD session at the annual ECNP Congress, and about the kick-off of implementing the new Quality…
The Research Transparency Tool was developed by the EQIPD Consortium Taskforce and implemented online with support from a SBIR award from the NIH: https://public-funding-tool.paasp.net/survey The tool creates a “snapshot” of the environment in which research is conducted and is meant to help funders and applicants align on relevant quality expectations. More information in the EQIPD…
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.
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…
