Description
Research on research, also known as meta-research, is the application of rigorous methods and analysis to the practice of research itself – its methods, standards, and evaluation. Founded in 2019, the Research on Research Institute (RoRI) is a consortium of research funders and institutes that undertakes projects which can support the work of funding organizations. RoRI gathers evidence and data, undertakes experiments and develops tools to improve how research is funded, practiced, communicated and evaluated.
The three Canadian core partners of RoRI (SSHRC, CIHR, and Michael Smith Health Research BC), have together made this joint initiative available as part of ongoing efforts to support meta-research in the Canadian context. The overall goal of this joint initiative is to enhance national capacity for meta-research and to bring Canadian expertise and perspectives into the international dialogue on improving research funding practices. (Updated: 2024-10-16)
Canadian applicants are invited to submit applications that align with RoRI priority areas as identified in the list of current RoRI projects (whether or not directly linked to the current RoRI projects). Researchers conducting meta-research are invited to apply regardless of whether their research discipline falls within the health sciences, natural sciences and engineering, or social sciences and humanities. Applications involving Indigenous research and research-creation are welcomed.
