Financing of biomedical innovation: Learning to separate the wheat from the chaff
Organised by the ECNP Preclinical Data Forum Network, co-hosted by GoEQIPD, CAMARADES and PAASP
Recent high-profile misconduct cases, such as the one of Eliezer Masliah, highlight challenges in allocating capital to projects with the most robust and reliable supporting data. This webinar will provide practical recommendations for sponsors of research to ensure robustness and reliability of the research output. Key topics include identifying critical (or decision-enabling) evidence, pre-specification of study hypotheses and measures to prevent or minimise the risk of bias. It will also discuss what to do if decision-enabling studies were not performed as ‘confirmatory’. Additionally, the webinar will explore best practices for data presentation, including the appropriate use of bar graphs, usage of effect sizes vs p-values, and image beautification practices.
