The Center For Open Science makes $1.3mm available to validate 50 cancer studies.

Yesterday, they announced that The Center For Open Science was making $1.3mm available, via ScienceExchange, to reproduce and validate 50 important cancer biology studies.

I am excited about this for a bunch of reasons; 1) reproducing and validating research is critical, 2) The Center For Open Science is taking a marketplace model to funding this work, and 3) it points to the broader potential for Science Exchange to break down silos, open up research, and lead to better and faster scientific discovery.

This sort of thing belongs in the open thread.

I disagree. I prefer on topic discussions on reproducing scientific research. Many are quick to link reproduction failure rates, but few are willing to do better.
