Three months on from launching SIRF-UP, an @eu-sabv.bsky.social initiative to support ethical review bodies assess sex inclusivity in animal research, a new publication renews our call to get involved, share your experiences and use the Sex Inclusive Research Framework. 👉 doi.org/10.1177/0023...

Steps in the SIRF-UP (Sex Inclusive Research Framework - Understanding and Practice) process: pre-engagement survey, a support pack, apply the SIRF, post-engagement survey, stay involved.

SIRF-UP is an @eu-sabv.bsky.social COST Action initiative to support ethical review bodies assess sex-inclusivity in animal research. Using female and male animals should be the default to reduce the total number of animals used and produce results that are generalisable to the whole population.

Strong SABV practices require shared resources, coordinated expertise, and harmonized approaches across Europe. The EU-SABV COST Action is building a multidisciplinary network to address training gaps, strengthen capacity, and develop evidence-based guidance for SABV. #EUSABV #SABVinAction

Including Sex as a Biological Variable = better data. Scientific rigor begins with study designs that reflect biological reality. Sex influences physiology, disease mechanisms, and responses to interventions. #EUSABV #SABVinAction #ScientificRigor
