Robbie van Aert Wins a Veni Grant for his Research on Meta-Analysis, Preregistration, and Replication

in ,

We are very happy to announce that Robbie van Aert was awarded a NWO Veni grant (€280.000) for his research entitled “Empowering meta-analysis by taking advantage of preregistered and replication studies”.

 

Below you can find a short description of the proposed research:

 

An important threat to the validity of meta-analyses is publication bias. Replication and preregistered studies are deemed less susceptible to publication bias. I will develop a novel meta-analysis methodology that optimally synthesizes conventional with replication/preregistered studies and corrects for publication bias. This new methodology yields more accurate conclusions in meta-analyses.
