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…
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.
