From 2011-2017 the Arnold foundation has given about $81 million to meta-research causes like the Meta-Research Innovation Center at Stanford (METRICS) [[74]](https://lets-fund.org/better-science/#ftnt74), the Centre for Open Science[[75]](https://lets-fund.org/better-science/#ftnt75), and several other initiatives[[76]](https://lets-fund.org/better-science/#ftnt76). Note, the [Research Integrity](https://www.arnoldventures.org/work/research-integrity) area on the Arnold Ventures site is no longer active, but it looks like this is now just part of their [Research](https://www.arnoldventures.org/work/research) area. --- _[View the full topic](https://onscienceandacademia.org/t/escaping-science-s-paradox/926)._
