On March 25, preclinicaltrials.eu and animalstudyregistry.org joined forces to outline practical ways to expand preregistration in biomedical research. We met in Utrecht for a strategic session, walked away with an actionable plan, and are excited to share the next steps soon. Stay tuned for the takeaways!

If you are a group of researchers seeking more information on preregistration, simply email us  support-asr@bfr.bund.de. We can discuss which online format would suit you best. If you have any specific questions, you can also come to one of our weekly drop-in sessions. No appointment is necessary. Just stop by at 10 am CET every Tuesday using the following link: https://bundesinstitutfuerrisikobewertung.webex.com/wbxmjs/joinservice/sites/bundesinstitutfuerrisikobewertung/meeting/download/afe180015fed447ea5caebeebc7caf83?MTID=m9aa50e682443fec1840a26d31a2a7611

In a collaborative effort between preclinicaltrials.eu, the open science framework and animalstudyregistry.org, we have evaluated the impact of preregistration on the quality of published animal research. Read our recently published preprint to find out more:
