This grant funds projects that create tools and build lab capacity to improve research rigor, replicability, and reproducibility as part of the NIH R3PEATS program.
Funder: National Institutes of Health
Due Dates (Anticipated): October 2027 (anticipated)
Funding Amounts: Estimated total program funding: $5,600,000; ~16 awards expected; award size and duration may vary.
Summary: Supports metascience and laboratory capacity-building projects to develop tools, infrastructure, and practices that enhance rigor, replicability, and reproducibility in health-related research.
This opportunity supports two types of projects aimed at strengthening research practices in the health sciences. Metascience projects focus on developing and evaluating tools, metrics, guidelines, or infrastructure to promote high-quality research. Laboratory Capacity-Building projects help laboratories adopt new rigor- and replicability-related techniques or processes, while tracking and sharing factors that influence research outcomes. The program is part of the NIH Common Fund's Rigor, Replicability, & Reproducibility to Promote Excellence, Accuracy, & Translation in Science (R3PEATS) initiative.
