Project Summary: Throughout biomedical research, progress is impeded due to a lack of rigor, which could be ameliorated with better training and with community buy-in. While many papers have been written and countless presentations delivered on rigorous practices, the average scientist fails to consistently follow the relevant principles. We structure our proposal based on three insights. (1) Adoption of the principles of rigorous science is a question of culture, which can only be changed by a broad community effort. This work requires buy-in from all stakeholders, including students, professors, and other champions of rigor. (2) To enable this cultural change, materials must be engaging, high quality, and inspiring for learners. Above all, these materials need to serve the community; they must be available for direct consumption, for incorporation into teaching by many professors, and their structure should be a template for research itself. (3) The development and rollout of such high-quality materials necessitates a tight feedback loop with the community; by evaluating their use, we can see how these materials actually influence scientific rigor. The grass-roots, community-driven movement toward a more rigor-infused scientific culture that we envision requires excellent and visually engaging materials with the following key features: learning by doing, short lectures, open languages, easy delivery mechanism, adaptable content, simple interfaces, group-based learning, open-source bidirectional collaboration with the community, and thoroughly evaluated. Our main goal is to enable the principles underlying scientific rigor to become part of everyday culture in science.

项目概要： 在整个生物医学研究中，由于缺乏严谨性而阻碍了进展，这可以通过以下方法来改善： 更好的培训和社区的支持。虽然已经写了许多论文和无数的演示文稿 在严格的实践中，普通科学家无法始终如一地遵循相关原则。我们 基于三个见解构建我们的提案。 (1) 采用严谨的科学原则是一个问题 文化的影响，只有通过广泛的社区努力才能改变。这项工作需要大家的支持 利益相关者，包括学生、教授和其他严谨的拥护者。 (2) 为了实现这种文化变革， 材料必须具有吸引力、高质量并且对学习者具有启发性。最重要的是，这些材料需要服务 社区；它们必须可供许多人直接消费、纳入教学 教授，他们的结构应该成为研究本身的模板。 （三）开发与推广 如此高质量的材料需要与社区建立紧密的反馈循环；通过评估它们的使用， 我们可以看到这些材料实际上如何影响科学严谨性。立足基层、社区驱动 我们设想，向更加严谨的科学文化迈进需要出色的视觉效果 具有以下主要特点的引人入胜的材料：边做边学、简短的讲座、开放的语言、简单的 交付机制、适应性强的内容、简单的界面、基于小组的学习、开源双向 与社区合作，并进行彻底评估。我们的主要目标是实现这些原则 潜在的科学严谨性成为日常科学文化的一部分。
