Dear Faculty:
As a result of my email to you below requesting information on your experiences with Rigor and Reproducibility in NIH applications and study sections, I received a number of replies. Thank you!
Attached to this email are the following:
- Summary of information and experiences on Premise, Rigor, Consideration of Relevant Biological Variables, and Authentication of Biological and Chemical Resources
- NIH Rigor and Reproducibility Chart
- Templates and Examples from Pitt Faculty
At this point, there still seems to be considerable confusion on these areas at NIH. As more information and clarity become available, I will send to you. Feel free to forward this email to others at Pitt who may need it, and please continue to forward to me any information in the coming months that may be useful for others to know.
Best regards,
Jennifer Woodward
