Project Summary / Abstract Problems in scientific practice have generated widespread concern about the reliability of findings in behavioral and social science research (BSSR), including work related to aging. These problems arise from a lack of transparency on the part of researchers, as well as incentives in publishing and academia that encourage the presentation of results in ways that are newsworthy, but not necessarily reproducible or rigorous. Training on transparency and reproducibility is critical for equipping the BSSR workforce to conduct credible research. But while it is becoming more widely available, it is not yet the norm in graduate curricula. Led by the Berkeley Initiative for Transparency in the Social Sciences (BITSS), the Research Transparency and Reproducibility Training (RT2) is designed to strengthen the integrity of BSSR by increasing awareness of problems driven by opacity and providing exposure to and practice with tools designed to improve openness. In addition to providing an overview of problems and solutions in transparency, RT2 will provide space for practice with open science tools, as well as feedback on ongoing work in which participants are applying openness practices. BITSS has developed curricular materials for and delivered seven RT2 events and dozens of related workshops since 2014. This project will first adapt these for application in BSSR focused on aging topics, and integrating applied and discourse-based approaches to improve their effectiveness. This curriculum will be delivered through annual short courses for graduate students, postdocs, and other junior researchers. We will further facilitate long-term adoption of technical and transferable skills by investing in “‘champions” who provide support to peers and collaborators. We will provide access to funding and other guidance to help them integrate new practices into their research and teaching activities. Finally, we will evaluate the effectiveness of RT2 and its impact on learners through pre- and post-training surveys and in-depth interviews with randomly selected participants. Feedback from previous participants and applicants have demonstrated RT2’s effectiveness, as well as growing demand for training of this kind. In broadening its methodological focus and integrating applied and discursive approaches, RT2 can further transform research culture, equipping participants to lead, teach, and collaborate on transparent and reproducible aging research, laying the groundwork for better informing the decisions of policymakers, practitioners, and the public, and for facilitating collaboration and equity in BSSR.

项目摘要 /摘要 科学实践中的问题引起了人们对的关注 行为和社会科学研究（BSSR）的发现，包括与衰老有关的工作。 这些问题是由于研究人员缺乏透明度以及 出版和学术界的激励措施，以鼓励以 具有新闻价值，但不一定可再现或严格。透明度和 可重复性对于为BSSR劳动力提供可靠的研究至关重要。但 虽然它变得越来越广泛，但它尚未成为研究生课程的规范。 由伯克利社会科学透明度（BITS）领导的研究 透明度和可重复性培训（RT2）旨在增强 BSSR通过提高对不透明度驱动的问题的认识并提供对和 使用旨在提高开放度的工具进行练习。除了提供 RT2在透明度中的问题和解决方案将为开放科学提供实践空间 工具，以及参与者正在进行开放性的正在进行的工作的反馈 实践。 BITS已开发了用于七个RT2事件的课程材料，并开发了数十个事件 自2014年以来的相关研讨会。该项目将首先适应BSSR的应用程序 关于衰老的主题，集成了应用和基于话语的方法以改善其 效力。该课程将通过年度小学课程提供 学生，博士后和其他初级研究人员。我们将进一步促进长期采用 通过投资“冠军”来提供支持的技术和转移技能，他们为同龄人提供支持 合作者。我们将提供资金和其他指导的访问权限，以帮助他们整合新的 实践他们的研究和教学活动。最后，我们将评估 RT2及其通过训练前和训练后的调查和深入的访谈对学习者的影响 与随机选择的参与者。 以前的参与者和申请人的反馈证明了RT2的有效性，因为 以及对这种培训的需求不断增长。扩大其方法论重点和 整合应用和话语方法，RT2可以进一步改变研究文化， 装备参与者领导，教学和合作透明和可重复的衰老 研究，为更好地告知政策制定者，从业人员的决定奠定基础 和公众，并促进BSSR的合作与公平。
