Collaboration
Working with another to do something practical or to achieve a specific goal
Collaborative Research
Joint work on a research project that needs or benefits from many individuals, disciplines or organizations
Consultation, educational exchanges, shared access to resources or data, joint publications, hosting conferences
Team Science
Collaborators who refer to themselves as a team
Reflects work of an organized group of researchers with different skills and set roles
Not necessarily large-scale research
4 Types of Research Collaborations
- Collaboration across disciplines
- Collaboration with industry
- Collaboration with community partners
- Collaboration across national borders
Challenges of Collaborative Research
- Cultural Differences
- Increasingly complex roles and relationships
- Common, but not necessarily identical, interests
- Management requirements
Federal Regulations for Collaborative research
- Ownership and sharing of data in federally-sponsored research is regulated by the granting agency
- The PIs institution takes the lead in reviewing and approving joint work in collaborations with human subjects, animals or recombinant DNA
- US regulations typically govern
Professional Guidelines for Collaborative Research
- The OECD Global Science Forum
- The InterAcademies Partnership
- The 3rd World Conference
Good Collaborative Research Practices
- Regular and honest communication
- Written agreements
- Determine who is in charge of each part of the project
- Collaborator’s shared commitment to values and practices
How to Overcome Cultural Differences in Collaborative Research
- Do not ignore any responsibilities
2. Apply the most demanding option
