  1. Promoting Integrity in theNext Generation of Researchers A Curriculum for Responsible Conduct of Research in Occupational Therapy (2005) Funded by the Office of Research Integrity through the American Association of Medical Colleges

  2. Collaborative Science

  3. Objectives • Describe four types of research collaborations. • Discuss potential issues in intra-disciplinary, interdisciplinary, industry/academic, and community research collaborations. • Describe how responsible scientific collaboration can be enhanced.

  4. Definition • Collaborative research involves two or more persons who act as peers. • Collaborations can be: • Intradisciplinary - within a single field • Interdisciplinary – involving multiple fields • With Industry • With Communities

  5. Collaborative Research is Growing • Research questions are increasingly complex • Funding sources encourage interdisciplinary efforts • Technology reduces barriers to collaboration across distance • Federal laws make collaboration attractive between industry & academia • Communities recognize research funding can support programs (Columbia University, 2003–2004)

  6. Potential Issues in Collaboration • Individual: collaboration may mix researchers with differing: • Styles • Levels of integrity • Ability to self-motivate and self-monitor • Communication skills • Experience in collaboration • Expectations of independence/interdependence • Expectations of leadership

  7. Potential Issues in Collaboration (continued) • Interdisciplinary: Disciplines may differ in their: • Expectations re. process and product • Styles of decision making: consensus vs leader-based • Language used to discuss issues • Valuation of qualitative vs quantitative data • Work habits and timelines • Expectations of dissemination (Columbia University, 2003–2004; Magnus and Kalichman, 2002; Shamoo and Resnik, 2003)

  8. Potential Issues in Collaboration (continued) • With Industry: Universities/colleges and industries have different research cultures: • Transparency vs non-disclosure • Proprietary investment and expectation of product • Ownership of information

  9. Potential Issues in Collaboration (continued) • With Community: Academic researchers and community collaborators may differ in their: • Cultures • Expectations • Perceived power • Assumptions about ownership of data or product • Assumptions about credit and responsibility for dissemination (Community-Campus Partnerships for Health, 2005)

  10. To Enhance Research Collaborations • Make clear communication a priority • Discuss differences in culture • Establish methods of decision making and conflict resolution • Agree upon each collaborator’s roles, responsibilities, tasks • Establish methods of oversight for each collaborator (timelines, proof of action, quality measures)

  11. To Enhance Research Collaborations (continued) • Agree upon rules for data storage, management, sharing, and ownership • Establish who owns data and intellectual property (product) • Establish a dissemination plan and agree on each members’ responsibility/credit. Revisit and renegotiate on regular basis.

  12. To Enhance Research Collaborations (continued) • Agree upon a publicity plan; spokespeople, and how credit will be shared by all. • Declare and actively manage conflicts of interest (Community-Campus Partnerships for Health, 2005; Magnus and Kalichman, 2002; Shamoo and Resnik, 2003)
