However, we are encouraging funders to commit to the distribution of data through the Transparency Project when the funding is distributed, before the results are available. This should assure transparency independent of findings.Howard Shafferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10602367186377828641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-142743152971096915.post-14234786415664668412012-01-13T09:19:44.726-06:002012-01-13T09:19:44.726-06:00Think it's part of the larger movement to pull...Think it's part of the larger movement to pull academic research into the light of day.

I like the idea of the Transparency Project but I wonder if it'll achieve its goals - academics may want to share their data but the industrial sponsors probably don't want them to, unless the data is favorable to the company.Neuroskeptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06647064768789308157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-142743152971096915.post-29946042036201774262012-01-11T12:32:27.294-06:002012-01-11T12:32:27.294-06:00We like how Shaffer thinks about addiction as a co...We like how Shaffer thinks about addiction as a complex syndrome, allowing researchers to categorize individuals as 'at risk' or 'not at risk'. This brings a proactive ability for us to stop addiction-hopefully before it starts.Bill and Sandy Fifieldhttp://digdeepinoneplace.authorsxpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
