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.

项目总结/摘要 科学实践中的问题引起了人们对 行为和社会科学研究（BSSR）的发现，包括与衰老相关的工作。 这些问题源于研究人员缺乏透明度，以及 出版和学术界的激励措施，鼓励以 有新闻价值，但不一定是可复制的或严格的。关于透明度和 重复性对于装备BSSR工作人员进行可靠的研究至关重要。但 虽然它越来越广泛地提供，但它还不是研究生课程的标准。 由伯克利社会科学透明度倡议（BITSS）领导，研究 透明度和生殖能力培训（RT 2）旨在加强 通过提高对不透明问题的认识， 使用旨在提高开放性的工具进行练习。除了概述 问题和解决方案的透明度，RT 2将提供空间的实践与开放的科学 工具，以及对参与者正在应用开放性的工作的反馈 实践 BITSS已为七场RT 2活动和数十场活动开发并交付了课程材料 自2014年以来的相关工作坊。该项目将首先调整这些应用在BSSR集中 关于老龄化主题，并整合应用和基于话语的方法，以提高他们的 有效性该课程将通过每年的短期课程为研究生提供 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 通过投资于为同行提供支持的“冠军”， 合作者我们将提供资金和其他指导，帮助他们融入新的 实践到他们的研究和教学活动。最后，我们将评估 RT 2及其对学习者的影响，通过培训前和培训后的调查和深入访谈 随机选择的参与者。 从以前的参与者和申请者的反馈已经证明了RT 2的有效性， 以及对此类培训需求的不断增长。在扩大其方法重点方面， 整合应用和论述方法，RT 2可以进一步转变研究文化， 使参与者能够领导，教授和合作透明和可重复的老化 研究，为更好地为决策者、从业人员、 和公众，并促进BSSR的合作和公平。
