Center for Innovative Design & Analysis
Collaborations are generally arranged through the Center for Innovative Design and Analysis (CIDA); although some partnerships are arranged with individual faculty based on expertise. The faculty focus on collaborative and team science partnerships. For short-term consulting needs please visit the CIDA – Consulting Center.
Continuum of Interaction and Integration in Team Research
Consulting | Research Collaboration | Team Science |
An
investigator works on a problem. Largely on his/her own and drops data off
for analysis. | A group works
on a scientific problem, each bringing some expertise to the problem. Each member works
on a separate part of the larger problem, integrating parts at the end. The interaction
of the lead investigators varies from limited to frequent, normally regarding
data sharing and/or brainstorming. | A team works
on a research problem with each member bringing specific expertise to the
table. There are regular
meetings and discussions of the team’s overall goals, objectives of the individuals
on the team, and future steps. One person takes
the lead while other members have key leadership roles in achieving the shared
goals. |
Outcome: Report,
perhaps co-authored publication. | Outcome: Co-investigator
grants. Biostatisticians
develop subject area knowledge. | Outcome: Analyst at
multiple PI. Analysts
publishing first-author papers in subject area journals and in methodology
journals. Analysts
attend subject-area conferences and have a network in that area. |
