Citerank: (5) 290591Interdisciplinary researchInterdisciplinary research (IDR) can be one of the most productive and inspiring of human pursuits—one that provides a format for conversations and connections that lead to new knowledge; yet, despite the apparent benefits of IDR, researchers interested in pursuing it often face daunting obstacles and disincentives.8FFB597, 290597Interdisciplinary Research – ChallengesScience is not structured to reward nor support interdisciplinary collaboration. Exploring the challenges that need to be overcome for interdisciplinary research to thrive.8FFB597, 2905981. IDR may not map neatly to existing funding categoriesThe characteristics of Interdisciplinary Research pose special challenges for funding organizations that wish to support it.959C6EF, 2905992. IDR may require longer periods of gestation before fruitionInterdisciplinary Research is typically collaborative and involves people of disparate backgrounds. Thus, it may take extra time for building consensus and for learning new methods, languages, and cultures.959C6EF, 2906003. IDR can make the peer review process trickierThe prospective and retrospective evaluation of interdisciplinary research and education programs may require modification can require the inclusion of researchers with interdisciplinary expertise in addition to researchers with expertise in the relevant disciplines.959C6EF
