Background and Expectations

EQIPD has developed a tool to support:

funders willing to communicate their expectations about data management and rigor in study design, conduct, analysis, and reporting
scientists applying for funding and willing to follow best practices in research rigor

For funders:

it is expected that the tool is made freely available (e.g. as a link) on the website informing applicants about the scope of the tool
the tool provides generic expectations formulated by the EQIPD working group and can be further extended by guidance and other information specific to a funding body
it is expected that different funding bodies will decide as to whether:
- the use of this tool is mandatory or not
- whether a report generated by the tool should be made part of the application for funding
- whether any additional information or evidence should be provided to support answers collected by the tool
