As a matter of fact, the famous French scientist, Louis Pasteur is often regarded as one of the earliest adopters of interdisciplinary research and his contributions to science, technology, and medicine are nearly without precedent. He is credited with bringing together microbiology and chemistry to make remarkable discoveries related to vaccination, microbial fermentation, and pasteurization. Since then, the growth of scientific and technical knowledge has led scientists, technologists, and social scientists to work together to tackle complex global problems that need to be addressed simultaneously with insights from different disciplines.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the challenges that we are facing today are too new, and too big, to be addressed within traditional disciplinary boundaries. For instance, the COVID-19 pandemic that continues unabated, with the virus mutating with time, emphasizes the need to improve our approach to solving complex problems through adaptation and innovation. Many other challenges being faced today, such as food and water shortages, climate change, energy crises, global poverty, and gender and economic inequalities, also call for a more collaborative effort. Clearly then, interdisciplinary research is becoming critical, and researchers need to step beyond the boundaries of their own disciplines to address these increasingly difficult issues.<\/p>\n<p>Recognizing the importance of interdisciplinary research, countries are now funding interdisciplinary research programs. In Canada, for example, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council has allocated one-third of its budget to funding interdisciplinary research.<sup>1<\/sup> Similarly, the British Academy, the Royal Academy of Engineering, and the Royal Society, with the support of the Leverhulme Trust and in partnership with the APEX award scheme, award funds to promote interdisciplinary collaboration in research that benefits society.<sup>2 <\/sup>Given this scenario, it is essential for collaborators to have a sound understanding about how to work effectively in an interdisciplinary setting.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_68 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/researcher.life\/blog\/article\/enhance-team-science-interdisciplinary-research-success\/#Tips_to_foster_collaboration_and_overcome_obstacles_in_interdisciplinary_research\" title=\"Tips to foster collaboration and overcome obstacles in interdisciplinary research\u00a0\">Tips to foster collaboration and overcome obstacles in interdisciplinary research\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/researcher.life\/blog\/article\/enhance-team-science-interdisciplinary-research-success\/#Gain_valuable_insights_through_an_engaging_R_Upskill_Masterclass_with_Brian_Uzzi\" title=\"Gain valuable insights through an engaging R Upskill Masterclass with Brian Uzzi\">Gain valuable insights through an engaging R Upskill Masterclass with Brian Uzzi<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_to_foster_collaboration_and_overcome_obstacles_in_interdisciplinary_research\"><\/span><strong>Tips to foster collaboration and overcome obstacles in interdisciplinary research<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Here are some practical tips for early career researchers, mentors and leaders on how to collaborate successfully and maximize productivity.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Create a clear outline of the challenge to be addressed <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Each participant must understand the research problem in detail and should be clear about their specific role in the group. Multidisciplinary team members need to spend time to develop a \u201cshared mental model\u201d of the research project and understand different perspectives within the team. This can help streamline communication, troubleshooting and decision-making and ensure that the research stays on track and does not drift from its original purpose.<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Try to learn the scientific language and culture of collaborators <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">When researchers from different disciplines work together, they often come to realize that familiar words and phrases may mean something different to others.\u00a0 For example, words like \u201cmodel\u201d can mean different things to people from medical science, biology, or physical science backgrounds.<sup>4<\/sup> Therefore, it becomes critical that team members are aware of the alternative meanings of terminologies while collaborating with each other.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t be afraid to ask questions <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">When colleagues from other disciplines make observations that you may not fully understand, don\u2019t be afraid to ask for clarification. Request them to guide you through their reasoning process. It is also important to invest time in independent reading and discussions with others in the team to develop interactional expertise. Simply put, interactional expertise allows you to have more productive conversations about a field that you may not have much practical experience in.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Be patient and helpful <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Learning to convey complicated ideas to someone from a different field is an important aspect of working in interdisciplinary teams. Observations that appear obvious to you may be perplexing for others given the differences in disciplinary training. Taking time to help team members understand your thought process could prove to be greatly productive.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Expand your network outside your discipline<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Individual success is often linked to one\u2019s ability to acquire new knowledge and insights through networking. Establishing a diverse network can help develop a more holistic and unbiased view of the challenges being worked on. An exchange of information with people whose experiences differ from your own can prove fruitful and lead to a unique, exceptionally valuable learning experience. This, in turn, will help you participate more productively in collaborative research projects.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/researcher.life?utm_source=contentmarketing&amp;utm_medium=r-blog&amp;utm_campaign=enhance-team-science-interdisciplinary-research-success\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2599 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MicrosoftTeams-image-14.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2600\" height=\"564\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MicrosoftTeams-image-14.png 2600w, https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MicrosoftTeams-image-14-300x65.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MicrosoftTeams-image-14-1024x222.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MicrosoftTeams-image-14-768x167.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MicrosoftTeams-image-14-1536x333.png 1536w, https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/MicrosoftTeams-image-14-2048x444.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2600px) 100vw, 2600px\" \/><\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gain_valuable_insights_through_an_engaging_R_Upskill_Masterclass_with_Brian_Uzzi\"><\/span><strong>Gain valuable insights through an engaging R Upskill Masterclass with Brian Uzzi<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Interdisciplinary research, while exciting, can sometimes be frustrating and challenging.
