There is a growing recognition that many published studies cannot be replicated for a variety of reasons. As a consequence, the scientific community and NIH understand that there needs to be an emphasis of instruction with respect to both rigor and reproducibility. This FFASt course will focus on approaches to enhance the overall integrity of the scientific process and address topics related to: i) experimental design; ii) analyses and statistics; iii) data management; iv) resource sharing; and v) publication and reporting.
