100% agree. The NIH could replicating studies a requirement of funding for graduate or postdoctoral training. In addition to the scientific and societal benefit, it would just be good training.
- a-dub 5y agoyour first task in lab will be to reproduce our competitor's work! in seriousness though, there's enough money and trained scientists looking for work... moreover i think there's a whole personality type that is prevalent in science that would be very happy to replicate and reproduce results...
- tsbischof 5y agoI would be glad to have funding explicitly set towards appropriate and open documentation of the actual protocols, equipment, and materials, plus a combined effort to enhance these reporting requirements by the journal. There has to be a balance between the one-off interesting new findings and the large-scale work, but clinical trials definitely fall under the latter category.
