Facilitating Interdisciplinary Research examines current interdisciplinary research efforts and recommends ways to stimulate and support such research. Advances in science and engineering increasingly require the collaboration of scholars from various fields. This shift is driven by the need to address complex problems that cut across traditional disciplines, and the capacity of new technologies to both transform existing disciplines and generate new ones. At the same time, however, interdisciplinary research can be impeded by policies on hiring, promotion, tenure, proposal review, and resource allocation that favor traditional disciplines. This report identifies steps that researchers, teachers, students, institutions, funding organizations, and disciplinary societies can take to more effectively conduct, facilitate, and evaluate interdisciplinary research programs and projects. Throughout the report key concepts are illustrated with case studies and results of the committee's surveys of individual researchers and university provosts.

Enhancing Communication & Collaboration in Interdisciplinary Research, edited by Michael O'Rourke, Stephen Crowley, Sanford D. Eigenbrode, and J. D. Wulfhorst, is a volume of previously unpublished, state-of-the-art chapters on interdisciplinary communication and collaboration written by leading figures and promising junior scholars in the world of interdisciplinary research, education, and administration. Designed to inform both teaching and research, this innovative book covers the spectrum of interdisciplinary activity, offering a timely emphasis on collaborative interdisciplinary work. The book’s four main parts focus on theoretical perspectives, case studies, communication tools, and institutional perspectives, while a final chapter ties together the various strands that emerge in the book and defines trend-lines and future research questions for those conducting work on interdisciplinary communication.

Research commercialisation has become an important process for universities to make a social and economic contribution, and by combining ideas, interdisciplinary research is more likely to generate 'breakthrough' research with improved commercial potential. Despite increasing overlap between the two concepts, little is known about how they interact. This study explored the intersection of the two concepts by investigating the effect a commercial focus has on interdisciplinary research. Six factors that may positively or negatively affect commercially focused interdisciplinary research were identified in the literature, generating propositions for further development in this study. Due to the nascent stage of the subject area, this study took an exploratory, qualitative approach. The Biopharma Thematic Research Initiative (TRI) at the University of Auckland was used as a case, whereby data collection consisted of 15 interviews with academics involved in drug discovery research, an inherently interdisciplinary and commercially focused field. Where applicable, secondary data was collected to support findings from primary data collection. Findings of this study indicate the relative importance of prior experience, geographic distance, discipline similarity, complementary personalities, and shared drivers with respect to the commercially focused interdisciplinary research process. Further, although research funders are moving towards interdisciplinary and applied research, this study identified challenges funding the initial stages of a project, demonstrating the value of an internal funding system to attract increased external funds. The study also found that academic research outputs and career progression can be significantly stunted in commercially focused interdisciplinary teams, both of which are essential for ongoing researcher engagement. By exploring the intersection of interdisciplinary research and research commercialisation, the study has made an original contribution to the literature. Possibly the most significant finding was a publishing and career advancement inequity between disciplines, which was further exacerbated by the commercial focus. Conclusions from this study can: (1) contribute to the improvement of commercially focused interdisciplinary teams; (2) inform research administrators about factors to consider when setting up such programmes; and (3) inform policy makers who need to consider issues raised in this study to sustain long term academic engagement in this type of research.

Unlike other volumes in the current literature, this book provides insight for interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary researchers and practitioners on what doesn’t work. Documenting detailed case studies of project failure matters, not only as an illustration of experienced challenges but also as projects do not always follow step-by-step protocols of preconceived and theorised processes. Bookended by a framing introduction by the editors and a conclusion written by Julie Thompson Klein, each chapter ends with a reflexive section that synthesizes lessons learned and key take-away points for the reader. Drawing on a wide range of international case studies and with a strong environmental thread throughout, the book reveals a range of failure scenarios for interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary projects, including: • Projects that did not get off the ground; • Projects that did not have the correct personnel for specified objectives; • Projects that did not reach their original objectives but met other objectives; • Projects that failed to anticipate important differences among collaborators. Illustrating causal links in real life projects, this volume will be of significant relevance to scholars and practitioners looking to overcome the challenges of conducting interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research.

Approximately 70 percent of the world's population is concentrated in the coastal borderlands, which geologists recognize to be the present continental margins. This new book on these continental margins provides a detailed account of a meeting which brought together specialists in marine and terrestrial geology, geochemistry, and geophysics. The workshop garnered widespread support and enthusiasm for a new direction in margins research focused on interdisciplinary studies of the fundamental processes of continental margin evolution. Scientific problems and solutions were identified for both divergent and convergent margins. Results of the workshop show that many of the fundamental plate interaction processes are common to all margins, whether formed by extension, contraction, or translation. This conclusion suggests a unified approach to margins research. A margins initiative has been proposed to follow up on the workshop results by developing science programs aimed at understanding the processes that control the initiation and evolution of continental margins.

'Interdisciplinarity' has become a rallying cry among funders and leaders of research. Yet, while the creative potential of interdisciplinary research is great, it poses many challenges. If you don't have disciplinary boundaries, how do you decide what to include or leave out? And what are the parameters for evaluating the research? This book provides a practical guide for researchers and research managers who are seeking to develop interdisciplinary research strategies at a personal, institutional and multi-institutional level. The book draws on examples from across the social and natural sciences but also offers valuable lessons for other combinations of more proximate disciplines. At a time when interdisciplinary research is increasingly centre stage in the research agenda, this book offers a crucial practical guide for researchers, research funders and managers from all backgrounds and contexts.
