Reproducibility Rounds are a new international monthly webinar designed to foster open dialogue and exchange of experiences between institutions, researchers, and other stakeholders on the critical topics of research rigor and reproducibility.

Rounds are organized by the Stanford School of Medicine’s Program on Research Rigor & Reproducibility (SPORR), in collaboration with Columbia, Duke, Harvard, and Indiana. 

Title: How to Improve Reproducibility of Team Science: A CTSA BERD*s Eye View

Speakers: Leah J. Welty, Professor and Director, Biostatistics Collaboration Center, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and Manisha Desai, Professor of Medicine and of Biomedical Data Science, Stanford University

Abstract: With larger teams and ever more data, practicing reproducible research is becoming increasingly complex. Those analyzing the data are often different from those who collect and generate the data, and different from those interpreting the data. This can lead to gaps in the team’s knowledge around key data processing or analysis decisions. Transparent, robust documentation is also a key step to uncovering errors. This talk will describe implications of these challenges as well as some generalizable, practical solutions developed within two CTSA Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design (BERD) units.
