Summary: Supports coordinated multi-team biomedical research using complementary methods to enhance rigor, replicability, and reproducibility.
This opportunity supports collaborative, multi-team efforts to address a central biomedical research question through diverse, complementary approaches—including different methods, model systems, or populations. The program requires applicants to design projects that explicitly build in replication, identify sources of biological variability, and assess the robustness of research signals. It is part of the NIH Common Fund's Rigor, Replicability, & Reproducibility to Promote Excellence, Accuracy, & Translation in Science (R3PEATS) initiative.
