Unfortunately that proposal would favour the well-funded, since research is incredibly expensive and time-consuming. I like the idea of a compulsory (or at least public and open) registry of all research. All trials and other types of research would be registered before they are started. The design would then be publicly available, and progress could be tracked from proposal through to publication. This would potentially highlight several weaknesses in the peer review process, allowing them to be dealt with. Some p-hacking may be revealed, by showing where designs had altered from proposed design to published design. It would show all trials which have failed to be published, potentially highlighting publication biases and negative results.
