The Committee for Core Rigor and Reproducibility (CCoRRe) is seeking to add new members to join in our mission to promote resources for the ABRF membership in achieving accurate and reproducible results in their shared resource facilities. This is a great opportunity for an interested ABRF members to work with a dynamic team and make valuable contributions to the advancement of better science. You can learn more about CCoRRe below, or by visiting our webpage: https://www.abrf.org/core-rigor-and-reproductibility-ccore- If you are an ABRF member in good standing and interested in joining CCoRRe, please send CV and a letter of intent that outlines your interest and ideas related to the role of cores and/or ABRF in advancing rigorous and reproducible science, to Susan Meyn at <email obscured><email obscured>>. Thank you! The Committee for Core Rigor and Reproducibility (CCoRRe): Katia Sol Church, University of Virginia School of Medicine Rebecca Davies, University of Minnesota Chris Gregory, University of North Carolina School of Medicine Adrian Halme, University of Virginia Kevin Knudtson, University of Iowa (EB liaison) Susan Meyn, Vanderbilt University Medical Center (Chair) Sheenah Mische, NYU Langone Medical Center Frances Weis-Garcia, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center About CCoRRE: The mission of the ABRF Committee on Core Rigor and Reproducibility (CCoRRe) is to enable rigorous and reproducible research through support of shared scientific resources in advancing technology, education and communication. Core facilities support a significant portion of the research conducted at biomolecular research institutions, thus playing a critical role in achieving efficient use of research funds and broadening access to advanced skills, expertise and technologies. Shared scientific research resources generate the majority of research data at many institutions, so their role in maintaining necessary expertise and generating high quality data is considerable. CCoRRe efforts are focused on building educational resources, sharing critical best practice guidelines, and providing important tools to the core community that will impact rigor, reproducibility and transparency across the range of science and technology. New members of CCoRRe will contribute to broadening our scope beyond NIH-driven considerations, and developing resources that will support the ABRF community in pursuing and advocating for rigor, reproducibility and transparency in all areas of scientific endeavor. CCoRRe plans for 2021 include: * Develop an improved website (currently https://abrf.org/committee/committee-core-rigor-and-reproducibility-ccorre) with educational links and best-practice protocols that can be applied across ABRF members’ scientific disciplines. * Identify opportunities for outreach and partnership with other professional societies and scientific journals, to enable and sustain partnerships that advance our mission. * Conduct a follow up to the Survey on Scientific Shared Resource Rigor and Reproducibility conducted by CCoRRe and reported out during 2018. The aim of this project is to learn how the knowledge, understanding and implementation of RR&T principles has changed in the last 3 years. To ensure best points of comparison, the original survey questions will not be changed, but we will add a few new questions that focus on challenges relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. We plan to analyze and publish a report on our findings during 2021. * Continue to work with ABRF Core MarketPlace (CMP) to expand use of CMP with integrated Research Resource Identification (RRID), and to advance a working group approach to guide the overall project activities.
