What the grant funds

Rigor Scholar Cohort Awards support early-career researchers to advance expertise in rigorous scientific practices, such as preregistration, blinding, randomization, and transparent dissemination, through multi-institutional collaboration. Working within local and national cohorts, scholars will co-develop procedures and share lessons, building the vital skills needed to champion good scientific practice. This effort is a part of the NIH Common Fund's Rigor, Replicability, & Reproducibility to Promote Excellence, Accuracy, & Translation in Science (R3PEATS) program.
