Collaborative research is not a new concept and has been historically associated with two or more researchers from the same discipline at the same institution. The ability to share a common language and methodological approach made it more appealing for faculty and staff to conduct research, especially when additional duties were required by the institution. This view has changed in our present environment as more team-based research projects recognize the value in multiple disciplines addressing more complex problems facing our scientifc and societal communities. The structure can range across three levels of collaboration: 1. Multidisciplinary: Team members look at the project from the view of their own specifc discipline 2. Interdisciplinary: The knowledge and methods from more than one discipline are combined to solve the problem 3. Transdisciplinary: The research strategy crosses many disciplinary boundaries to create a holistic approach
Depending on the size, complexity, and goal of the research, the following steps should be considered in the development of collaborative research partnerships: 1. Plan: Build successful relationships well in advance of any Request for Proposal (RFP) deadlines 2. Integrate: Peer review members at the Offce of Extramural Research can easily tell when people have been placed on a team and not integrated into it. Do not include researchers just to check off grant requirements 3. Scrutinize: Agencies tend to fund proposals including senior investigators with an established record 4. Simplify: Resist the urge to be expansive. If you include all possible collaborators you will create a bloated, unproductive team. Trend Toward Research Collaboration: Dr. Mary Jane DiMattio teaches adult, medical surgical nursing both in the classroom and in the clinical setting. She also teaches nursing research for graduate and undergraduate students. Dr. DiMattio earned her masters degree in Nursing Education at Villanova University and her doctoral degree in Nursing at the University of Pennsylvania. In addition to topics on womens recovery from cardiac events, she has researched and published on baccalaureate nurse education, as well as interdisciplinary education for the health professions. As a former hospital trustee, Dr. DiMattios most recent research interest is the longevity of baccalaureate nurses at the bedside and implications for patient quality and safety. She is a member of Sigma Theta Tau and The Eastern Nursing Research Society and is a peer reviewer for Nursing Research.
