Event Video
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.
