The Minimal Information About Organoids and their Use (MIAOU) questionnaire presented here is based on a bottom-up approach, utilizing input from a network of scientists working in the field of organoid design, characterization, and usage to enhance the reproducibility, replicability, and rationality of research within and between laboratories, and across organoids. The questionnaire encompasses four application areas: basic, preclinical, and clinical research, as well as bioproduction.
The MIAOU questionnaire is designed as an online survey to facilitate user feedback, simplifying the process and achieving the aforementioned goals (i.e., building trust among scientists, evaluators, and between them).
The questionnaire consists of 5 sections:
- Project identification
- Source material
- Organoid manufacturing
- Organoid characterization
- Organoid usage
There are 147 questions in this survey.
