Recognizing and rewarding collaborative researchers
The collective resolve of funding agencies, universities, and investigators is required to change the "conventional wisdom" that governs policies of recognition and reward so that the culture within which we conduct research is one that fosters the cutting edge potential of intra- and interdisciplinary collaborative circles and teams rather than discredits and undermines their work together.
