Description

Beginning in 2016, NIH has required that the rigor and reproducibility of the proposed project be addressed in grant submissions. This session will describe why the inability to reproduce data in published studies has increased, the implications for science, and ways to improve the rigor and reproducibility of studies. In addition, we will discuss tips for addressing rigor and reproducibility requirements in grant submissions.

Event Materials

4 MBPRESENTATION – Addressing Rigor and Reproducibility in Your NIH Grant

 

Learning Objectives

At the end of the session, participants will be able to:

  1. Understand why lack of reproducibility in science is a problem.
  2. Describe strategies to minimize irreproducibility and increase rigor.
  3. Describe the factors that lead to a lack of reproducibility.

Pre-Work

Attendees may wish to download the “Reproducibility and Replicability in Science” report from The National Academies Press as a reference document (not a required pre-read).
