Approximately $28 billion per year is spent on preclinical research that is not reproducible AND the cumulative prevalence of irreproducible preclinical research exceeds 50 percent. The study, The Economics of Reproducibility in Preclinical Research, by Drs. Leonard P. Freedman, Iain M. Cockburn and Timothy S. Simcoe, outlines a framework for solutions and a plan for long-term improvements in life science research reproducibility rates.
Constraints in federal funding, compounded by declining clinical revenue, jeopardize more than the nation’s research enterprise. These twin pressures have created a “hostile working environment” that erodes time to conduct research, “discourages innovative high-risk science” and threatens to drive established and early-career scientists out of the field. And this, in turn, undermines patient care, proclaimed deans of leading academic medical centers from across the U.S. The group commentary was published in Science Translational Medicine on Wednesday.
