R3PEATS Grassroots Rigor Projects: Individual Metascience and Individual Laboratory Capacity-Building (RP1)

National Institutes of Health

Program description

R3PEATS Grassroots Rigor Projects supports two project types that generate practical tools and shared knowledge to strengthen research practices. Metascience projects develop and evaluate tools, metrics, guidelines, or infrastructure to promote high-quality research practices. Laboratory Capacity-Building projects support labs in adopting new rigor- and replicability-related techniques or processes while tracking and sharing factors that influence research outcomes. This effort is a part of the NIH Common Fund's Rigor, Replicability, & Reproducibility to Promote Excellence, Accuracy, & Translation in Science (R3PEATS) program.
