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.
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. Read about the EQIPD QS in our eLife publication The domains are summarised below and a more detailed overview…
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…
The EQIPD project was highlighted in a recent publication by DDNews and will be featured at this year’s ECNP ‘campfire sessions’, the ‘Handbook on Good Research Practice in Non-Clinical Pharmacology and Biomedicine’ about quality in preclinical research has just been published, and the Global Preclinical Data Forum (GPDF) is giving out an award on the…
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…
The Guarantors of EQIPD Society is honored to receive a Sponsorship grant from Cohen Veterans Bioscience, a U.S.-based 501c3 public charity to support our critical work in driving quality and reproducibility of research. CVB has supported the EQIPD Consortium from its inception and is also a Founding Member of the Society. This funding will support…
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…
