One Page Guide to Rigor and Reproducibility

A one-page guide to explain how to address rigor and reproducibility in your NIH application.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) developed a one-page guide to explain how to address rigor and reproducibility in your NIH application. This new resource walks through each of the four key areas of scientific rigor, explaining how and where to address each area in your application. In addition we’ve linked to additional resources in case you need more in-depth information on any of the four key areas. Click the image to download the guide as a PDF.
