NWO states that \u201ccornerstone research\u201d will be selected, which means \u201cstudies that are cited often, with far-reaching consequences for subsequent research, or which play a major role in shaping policy, or studies on the basis of which important policy decisions are taken.\u201d According to the chair of the NWO\u2019s governing board, Jos Engelen, the agency plans to fund about ten projects each year till 2018. Many researchers are supportive of the agency\u2019s move towards spreading awareness about the importance of replication. However, others have expressed skepticism. \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/news\/dutch-agency-launches-first-grants-programme-dedicated-to-replication-1.20287\">If the Dutch government wants to spend its money on research whose sole qualification is its unoriginality, then that\u2019s their prerogative<\/a>,\u201d said Daniel Gilbert, a psychologist at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">The agency has stated that the programme will not allow researchers to replicate their own studies. Moreover, it is not aimed at detecting misconduct; rather, it is intended at increasing the transparency in research and encouraging the complete and accurate reporting of results. NWO will start accepting proposals from September. Based on the results of this pilot programme, NWO will decide on including replication studies in all the research programmes it funds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><strong><em>References:<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/news\/dutch-agency-launches-first-grants-programme-dedicated-to-replication-1.20287\">Dutch agency launches first grants programme dedicated to replication<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nwo.nl\/en\/news-and-events\/news\/2016\/nwo-makes-3-million-available-for-replication-studies-pilot.html\">NWO makes 3 million available for Replication Studies pilot<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Netherlands\u2019 largest research funding agency, the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), has announced the launch of a \u20ac3 million grants programme devoted to replication studies.
