Recommendation 15
15
Paragraph: 88
Implement a trial funding programme for 'slower' science and consult researchers on grant sufficiency
Recommendation
Short-term research grants place restrictive limitations on researchers, which can be to the detriment of research integrity and reproducibility. UKRI should consult with a representative sample of researchers to understand whether their grants allow them sufficient time and funding to do the work needed for ensuring their research is reproducible. UKRI should also implement a trial funding programme with an emphasis on ‘slower’ science.
