[From the post “Dear Colleague Letter: Achieving New Insights through Replicability and Reproducibility” published at nsf.gov]

“The National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE) encourages submission of proposals that target reproducibility and replicability efforts in data-intensive domains and that specifically rely on analysis of neuroimaging or neuroelectric data … Research questions should fall within the content domain of any of the following NSF programs: Cognitive Neuroscience, Perception, Action, and Cognition, and Science of Learning. NSF expects that these activities will aid in verification of prior findings, disambiguate among alternative hypotheses and serve to build a community of practice that engages in thoughtful reproducibility and replicability efforts. The suggested research must demonstrate clear potential for generating new scientific advances and discoveries, beyond simply rejecting or corroborating prior findings.”
