The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has been awarded a $399,674 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant will fund a 3-year research project titled "Redefining Questionable Research Practices and the Role of Registered Reports: A Cross-Disciplinary and Multi-Stakeholder Exploration." The project aims to evaluate the differing definitions of questionable research practices across academic disciplines and their impact on the adoption of registered reports, an approach designed to reduce such practices. The research will involve three studies using quantitative, qualitative, and meta-scientific methods to develop new measurement tools and assess opportunities to tailor registered reports for discipline-specific needs. The findings are expected to directly improve research practices and build trust in science through efforts to increase ethical and open research practices. UCLA plans to issue subawards as part of this grant.
