To do so, the following activities are being undertaken: (1) conducting a rapid search of the literature to review past work in related fields; (2) conducting a modified e-Delphi study with international researchers and funders to identify factors that contribute to risk of funding-related bias and their weights; and (3) developing and validating an instrument to assess risk of funding-related bias.
