NWO is making 3 million euros available for a Replication Studies pilot programme. In this programme, scientists will be able to repeat research that has been carried out by others. The pilot focuses on replicating studies that have a large impact on science, government policy or the public debate. This is the first special funding programme in the world for the repetition of such ‘cornerstone research’. With this initiative NWO wants to facilitate innovation in science and encourage researchers to carry out replication research.....

Science Article: DATA CHECK: Tracking first jobs to measure the impact of research funding
Newly minted Ph.D.s from two of flagship universities in the Midwest are more likely to end up working in California than in their home states, according to a recent study in Science. The ability to track geographic mobility is just one of the many applications of a new database focused on how public spending on research fosters innovation. For government officials, such results bring them one step closer to their goal of setting national research policy based on evidence rather than anecdote. For researchers in the fledgling field of the science of science policy, the results point to the potential value of an unprecedented blending of university administrative records with employment and earnings data collected for the U.S. Census Bureau that is now available at the Institute for Research on Innovation and Science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
