DESCRIPTION:Aim:  The Public Library of Science (PLOS)\, the Center for O
 pen Science (COS)\, and Flu Lab are collaborating to encourage the availab
 ility of all findings that contribute to the influenza body of knowledge.
   Through the Opening Influenza Research project\, they invite the influe
 nza research community to “empty the file drawers” and contribute to a
  thorough aggregation of open and accessible findings.\n\nThree types of p
 rojects will be considered for funding:\n \n\n	Emptying the file-drawers 
 of existing negative and null results: Researchers often feel pressure to 
 leave experiments showing negative or inconclusive results out of reports 
 for concern that they decrease publishability\, yet the cost of doing so u
 ndermines the overall value and credibility of the published literature. F
 or this special collection\, we encourage laboratories to empty their file
  drawers and share negative and null results to highlight their existence 
 and facilitate understanding of research pathways that are unproductive or
  not yet robust for advancing influenza research. Accepted papers are elig
 ible to receive a $5\,000 award and coverage of article processing charges
 .\n\n \n\n\n	Emptying the file drawers of existing replication studies: M
 any laboratories conduct replication studies but do not publish them becau
 se of perceived lack of publishability. This same special collection\, the
 refore\, also explicitly invites replication studies and encourages compre
 hensive reporting of successes and failures to foster insight on the condi
 tions under which phenomena can be observed.  Accepted papers are eligibl
 e to receive a $5\,000 award and coverage of article processing charges.\n
 \n \n\n\n	New\, proposed\, highly-powered replications of important resul
 ts in influenza research: Authors can propose to conduct highly-powered re
 plications of existing influenza findings to improve credibility and verif
 iability of existing claims. Proposals will be reviewed as Registered Rep
 orts by PLOS ONE and PLOS Biology prior to conducting the research. Succe
 ssful Stage 1 peer review concludes with provisional acceptance of the res
 earch for publication\, preregistration of the experiment(s) and analysis 
 plan(s)\, and a funding award. Stage 2 peer review after the research is c
 ompleted assesses only adherence to the accepted protocol and analysis pla
 n and appropriate calibration of the conclusions. Successful Stage 1 propo
 sals are eligible for up to $25\,000 awards to conduct the research and co
 verage of article processing fees.\n\n \nWhichever submission type is sel
 ected\, the primary focus of the work must be related to influenza\, thoug
 h the specific discipline or methodology may be biomedical\, behavioral\, 
 epidemiological\, or interdisciplinary. \n \nHow to Apply: A submission 
 starts with a pre-submission inquiry to COS to confirm eligibility\; only 
 inquiries that confirm eligibility with COS will be eligible for an award.
  A response can be expected within 4 business days. After confirming eligi
 bility\, the researchers submit either their full paper or registered repo
 rt by the deadline listed below.\n \nDeadline:      30 November 2019
 \n \nFurther information\n\n\n	More information about the program is avai
 lable here\n	The submission inquiry can be submitted here\n	For any other 
 questions\, please contact the Research Office\n
