The RWI − Leibniz Institute for Economic Research has funding for researchers to replicate papers in development economics:

RWI invites applications for several positions of Replicator on a self-employed basis to conduct a robustness replication of a published microeconomic study in the field of Development Economics. The successful applicant will work with us on the project “Robustness and Replicability in Economics (R2E)”, funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG) Priority Programme “Meta-Rep”….

The ultimate goal is to contribute to the ongoing debate about replicability and replication rates in eco- nomics. We collaborate closely with the Institute for Replication (I4R). All robustness replications will contribute to a meta-paper summarizing the collective findings. We plan to publish this meta-paper by the end of 2024, and all replication fellows will be co-authors….

The position starts as soon as possible and is limited to six months. The work can be done fully remotely. The applicant will receive compensation of 2,500 € gross in total, possible distributed in installments based upon predetermined deliverables. Additionally, replication fellows will be listed as co-authors on the meta-paper. At the conclusion of the project, it is foreseen to gather all fellows for a final workshop at RWI in Essen, Germany.

I don’t know the team here but I’m always happy to see more attempts to make economic research more reliable. The funding and the planned publication make this potentially a good deal for applied microeconomists, especially grad students. Full details are here (warning: PDF).
