1st EQIPD Newsletter

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…

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.

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…
