DEFINITION OF COLLABORATION

  • Latin collaborare , which means " to work together ". Working with another to do something practical or to achieve a specific goal (Merriam-Webster 2014).
  • Collaborative research is generally understood to mean joint work on a research project or program that needs or benefits from the knowledge, perspectives, and resources of many individuals, disciplines, or organizations.

Collaboration Across Disciplines

  • Multidisciplinary: collaboration, researchers work on a problem within their own discipline-based perspectives in parallel with others, fitting their respective results together at the end of a project.
  • Interdisciplinary : more intentionally collaborative, with researchers working together on a common problem from their respective disciplinary perspectives.
  • Transdisciplinary : an even more collaborative form of work, in which researchers approach a common problem from an integrated conceptual framework, identifying the discipline-based methods and approaches that they can take together and redefining both the problem and its solution accordingly.

Shift from individual to collaborative

research

  • Increasingly complex questions need the combined insights and skills of experts in multiple, complementary disciplines.
  • New opportunities for translating research findings into commercial products, and the economic importance of research and development worldwide, have led to growth in collaborations between academic researchers and industry.
  • Tighter governmental budgets for research and increased emphasis on cost-effectiveness have led to new collaborative structures
  • Large numbers of international graduate and postdoctoral trainees have created new pathways for collaboration

A brilliant idea made by an investigator during casual conversation…

  • Conception and design
  • Development of methodology
  • Acquisition of data (provided animals, acquired and managed patients, provided facilities, etc.)
  • Analysis and interpretation of data (e.g., statistical analysis, biostatistics, computational)
  • Writing, review, and/or revision of manuscript
  • Administrative, technical, or material support (i.e., reporting or organizing data, constructing databases)
  • Study supervision What to collaborate?

“If you were in my shoes, what would you do?”

“… advice seeking is a

surprisingly effective strategy

for exercising influence when we

lack authority… Asking advice

encourages greater cooperation

& information sharing, turning

into a win-win…

Four benefits: learning, perspective taking, commitment and flattery

Summary

  • The rewards of productive collaboration
beyond oneself
  • Ripple effects
  • “Seeing Advice” approach
  • Balance “focus” and “collaboration
expansion”, give up too much time & credit?
  • Never too early to talk about authorship, etc.
  • Follow-up and motivation maintenance
  • Friendship
