The scale and complexity of today’s biomedical research problems increasingly demands that scientists move beyond the confines of their own discipline and explore new organizational models for team science. NIH wants to stimulate new ways of combining skills and disciplines in both the physical and biological sciences. As part of its theme, Research Teams of the Future, the NIH Roadmap seeks to encourage scientists and scientific institutions to test alternative models for conducting research. One of the implementation groups in this area is Interdisciplinary Research.
