SfN's home for learning and discussion

Foundations of Rigorous Neuroscience Research

SfN has partnered with the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and members of the scientific community to develop a multimodal training program aiming to inform and empower neuroscientists at all career stages to enhance the rigor and reproducibility of their research.

Watch neuroscientists discuss the need to change the scientific culture to emphasize rigor.

These resources focus on the sociology of science, raising awareness around interpersonal factors that influence laboratory practices and professional activities.

Programming is organized around three priority topics:

Objectivity and scientific judgments.
Data collection, management, and sharing.
Scientific culture and incentives.

Participate in discussion of scientific rigor on the Neuronline Community, or access SfN’s previous training program on scientific rigor.

All original materials produced in this program are provided open access to the field and are supported by Grant Number R25NS114922 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).
