Title: Making the Team Work: Being Part <strong>of</strong> a Collaborative Venture<br />

Abstract:<br />

Successful scientists work in teams, with their productivity relying on effective teamwork among<br />

collaborators. When everything goes well, collaborations result in higher quality research than<br />

could have been accomplished by scientists working alone (Kotok, 2004). Multi-organizational,<br />

multi-disciplinary research projects are on the rise. Research Administrators are partners with<br />

Research Investigators in collaborative ventures. Research Administrators seek to facilitate collaborative<br />

ventures while protecting the interests <strong>of</strong> the institution and the institutional research<br />

investigator. We must take care to facilitate not impede the collaborative process by providing a<br />

helpful and supportive framework that balances the needs <strong>of</strong> the institution, the investigator and<br />

the funding agency.<br />
