Most efforts to estimate the reproducibility of published findings have focused on specific areas research, even though science is usually assessed and funded a regional or national basis. Here we describe project assess in biomedical by researchers based Brazil. The Brazilian Reproducibility Initiative systematic, multicenter effort repeat between 60 100 experiments: will focus set common methods, repeating each experiment three different laboratories from countrywide network. results, due 2021, allow us level Brazil, investigate what aspects literature might help predict whether finding reproducible.
