A Visionary Resource for Instilling Fundamental Principles of Rigorous Neuroscience Research workshop was held in Bethesda Maryland on October 22-23, 2018.
Numerous publications have called for more rigorous biomedical studies and for better reporting of study design, execution, analysis, and interpretation; however, many projects still fall short with respect to rigor and reporting. One potential contributing factor to this issue may be a lack of formal training for scientists in the fundamental principles of performing and reporting rigorous research. Consequently, the lack of rigorous experimental design and analysis impedes the progress of science and research attempting to reduce the burden of disease.
One goal of the workshop was to identify key elements necessary for teaching fundamental principles of rigorous research and for building an educational resource that could be widely implemented. Hopefully this will facilitate adequate education in the fundamental principles of rigorous research, which will improve the quality of biomedical research practices.
