Some examples of the variations in collaborations that can occur: Members of two research groups in different departments of the same institution work together on a project. A researcher from a private company works with the research group of an academic faculty member for several months.
Funding opportunities for collaborative research are also available from agencies such as the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Department of Defense. Being able to work effectively with professionals from many different backgrounds can therefore be a very marketable skill.
Collaborative Research: The term "collaboration" in academic research is usually thought to mean an equal partnership between two academic faculty members who are pursuing mutually interesting and beneficial research.
Collaborative working relationships have many benefits to offer, regardless of whether your career focuses on research, teaching, clinical practice, consultation, or any of the myriad other opportunities available to psychological scientists. In 1969, Donald T. Campbell proposed a model of science that highlights the benefits of collaboration.
In this type, members of two research groups in different departments of the same institution work together on a project.
In this type, a researcher from a private company works with the research group of an academic faculty member for several months.
In this type of collaboration, a researcher (Senior researcher) who receives federal funding will invite and collaborate with other researchers (Junior researchers) from other institutions.
In this type, a researcher travels to another institution for a particular period of time to learn some new techniques or collecting data.
Research has several parts (Data collection, Conducting an experiment, result in analysis, reviewing result and so on).
In this type, in order to gain a more global perspective of the research problem, the collaboration among researchers will be established from different countries and different institutions.
Cooperative education programs, or facilitated transfer programs, are designed to make the transfer process easier for international students who are interested in earning a degree at IU. A student's home institution, at its discretion, may accept the credits that the student earns at IU and confer a separate degree.
Joint degrees involve collaboration by an IU academic unit and a partner institution to offer a degree program that neither would have the resources to offer without combining expertise and instruction; upon completion of a joint degree program, both institutions' names appear on the diploma.
Summer research experience: Undergraduate students from a partner institution come to IU, typically after their third year, for a research experience, ranging from a six-week summer to a full semester placement, in a lab setting (commonly in the hard sciences, though not limited to those disciplines).
Institutional differences in quality assurance. Issues of academic freedom with the international institution or organization. Mismatch in institutional goals and motivations. Legal concerns, such as financial liabilities, taxation rules, and local government regulations.
Sometimes the collaboration involves the transfer of some form of tangible material rather than a research method. The material might be a chemical compound, a cell line, or some other form of biological material. It could involve the sharing of research animals with specific genetic traits or physical conditions.
Clinical trials. Clinical Trials. A scientifically designed and executed investigation of the effects of a drug (or vaccine) administered to human volunteers. The goal is to define the safety, clinical efficacy, and pharmacological effects (including toxicity, side effects, incompatibilities, or interactions) of the drug.
