Metaresearch focuses on analyzing and optimizing how research is conducted, evaluated, and applied. The Research on Research Joint Initiative provides funding to researchers exploring topics such as research integrity, reproducibility, the role of open science, the effectiveness of funding programs, and the impact of artificial intelligence on research systems. Projects under this initiative can involve interdisciplinary approaches and collaborations, aiming to improve the infrastructure, culture, and policies of research ecosystems. This initiative encourages knowledge sharing through open-access publications and events. Successful applicants are expected to synthesize their findings in reports and contribute to knowledge mobilization efforts, engaging with diverse audiences, including policymakers, funders, and academic stakeholders. The program ultimately aims to generate practical insights to shape research policy and practice.
