I tend to argue that 10%-20% of a grant should go to reproducibility. This does two things: 1. It would help fund / ensure funding to several labs in the space. 2. It would help ensure reproducibility of results Yes, it can be gamed, but generally it should be easier to reproduce results so 10%-20% of the funding to follow directions should be okay. Of course, this could lead to one group just constantly doctoring results to show something is not reproducible. In which case, a third lab would need to get some funding to check it out.
