An interesting solve here is structuring research grants for outcome replicability. The article implies a real % of grant money is wasted on results that cannot be replicated.

Could look like X0% of grant money is held for future researchers who work on replicating the outcome. And, wouldn't it be cool if Y% of the grant was held back to be awarded to the researcher whose results were replicated?

This spend, while increasing grant sizes, has the effect of creating replicable science which does more for Science and Society than small grants that end up creating non replicable results.
