- Laboratory Animal - PREPARE Guidelines for Planning Animal Research and Testing
- As part of ongoing efforts to reduce waste, promote animal alternatives, and increase the reproducibility of research and testing, a group of experts from the UK and Norway, led by Norecopa, has produced a set of guidelines and checklist for planning experiments. The checklist should be adapted to suit specific needs, for example in field research. Advice on use of the checklist is available on the Norecopa website.
- ARRIVE Guidelines
- NIH is encouraging award recipients to include the ARRIVE Essential 10 Checklist in all NIH-supported publications describing vertebrate animal and cephalopod research.
