NIH Seeks Public Input on Measuring and Rewarding Scientific Impact in Modern Research
Summary
The NIH has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking public input on how to measure and reward scientific impact in modern biomedical research. Recognizing that 21st-century science is increasingly collaborative, interdisciplinary, and reliant on transparent reporting, rigorous replication, and careful interpretation, the NIH aims to identify defining features of contemporary science that should be incentivized. This RFI is part of the agency's broader Replication and Reproducibility Initiative, which seeks to institutionalize replication efforts across NIH-funded research.
