Multiple disciplinary research provides an opportunity to bring together investigators across disciplines to provide new views and develop innovative approaches to important questions. Through this shared experience, novel paradigms are formed, original frameworks are developed, and new language is generated. Integral to the successful construction of effective cross-disciplinary teams is the recognition of antecedent factors that affect the development of the team such as intrapersonal, social, physical environmental, organizational, and institutional influences. Team functioning is enhanced with well-developed behavioral, affective, interpersonal, and intellectual processes. Outcomes of effective multiple disciplinary research teams include novel ideas, integrative models, new training programs, institutional change, and innovative policies that can also influence the degree to which antecedents and processes contribute to team performance. Ongoing evaluation of team functioning and achievement of designated outcomes ensures the continued development of the multiple disciplinary team and confirmation of this approach as important to the advancement of science.
多学科研究提供了一个机会,让不同学科的研究人员汇聚在一起,以提供新的观点,并针对重要问题开发创新方法。通过这种共享经验,形成了新的范式,开发了原创框架,并产生了新的术语。成功组建有效的跨学科团队不可或缺的一点是,要认识到影响团队发展的先行因素,如个人、社会、物理环境、组织和制度等方面的影响。通过完善的行为、情感、人际和智力过程,可以提升团队的运作效率。有效的多学科研究团队的成果包括新颖的想法、综合模型、新的培训项目、制度变革以及创新政策,这些成果也会影响先行因素和过程对团队绩效的贡献程度。对团队运作和指定成果达成情况进行持续评估,可确保多学科团队持续发展,并确认这种方法对科学进步至关重要。
