Visit The Lancet REWARD campaign site at: http://www.thelancet.com/campaigns/efficiency Conference on increasing value and reducing waste in biomedical research, 28-30 Sept 2015. Every year, about a third of a trillion dollars (USD) is spent on biomedical research across the world. But there is good evidence showing that much of this investment is wasted because of the way that research priorities are set; the way research is designed, conducted, and analysed; the way research is regulated and managed; the lack of publication of much research; and the poor reporting of research that is published.
