Los Angeles County WIC Programs: Developing Infrastructure for Partnered Rese...UCLA CTSI
Los Angeles County Women, Infants and Children (LAC WIC) programs provide supplemental nutrition, health care referrals and nutrition education for low-income pregnant women or women with children under age 5 who are at nutritional risk. Although LAC WIC programs are often approached with research requests, they do not have a strategic plan to vet, manage or optimize in-house research. This project will create a strategic plan that will provide guidelines and tools to facilitate research of interest to LAC WIC leaders, participants, staff and academics.
University systems, state governments, and economic development organizations are developing new expertise and resource portals to foster university-industry engagement. These portals expose subject matter experts conducting research and university resources like core facilities willing to engage with industry, making experts and resources discoverable by search and easier to connect with.

A Comprehensive Glimpse into the Life of a PhD Student in Australia.pdfAssignment Help
Starting a Ph.D. program is an important and life-changing event that is characterized by growth on the inside as well as an odd mix of highs and lows. Australia becomes more than just a place to visit for PhD candidates—rather, it becomes a dynamic canvas for scholarly inquiry. We explore the complexities and delights that characterize this educational journey as we delve into the life of a PhD student in Australia in this blog post. There are several online platforms that offer services which prioritize upholding the students’ academic reputations and future opportunities by making sure that the experts provide help that strictly complies with ethical norms that includes.

Culture of Collaboration Poster Oct_2015 Justice_Bhagvat final [Compatibility Mode]
1. Culture of Collaboration: Strategies to Capitalize on
Existing Strengths and Developing Synergies

Background and Purpose
Funding sponsors are driving
this change – moving away
from the silos of discipline
toward
holistic research.
To be competitive,
project teams need to adapt the
larger / broader project scope.
Team grants, interdisciplinary
research and collaborative
projects is the trend for strategic
funding.
Changing funding climate drives
collaboration
Methods: Identify Areas of Shared
Strength & Synergy
.
The Expectation
Establishing a culture of collaboration is not
intuitive, natural or easy. To exceed expectations
of hemispheric scope, researchers need to broaden
the expertise of their project team for holistic,
blended, results with reach and impact.
Why do we need a culture of
collaboration? To address the big
(hemispheric) questions, a truly
integrated, comprehensive scope, we
need the promise of interdisciplinary
research.
Addressing the Barriers
Identified Barriers of Interdisciplinary Collaboration
1. Does your institution tie research productivity to metrics
for tenure? The biggest barrier @ USF is giving credit
to faculty who are not the PI or lead author.
2. Interdisciplinary research is generally much more time
and energy – invest in faculty incentives and dedicated
staff support to offset the additional effort.
3. Establishing shared space is key. Tearing down walls,
literally and figuratively.
4. Investing in multi-disciplinary faculty hires, shared
equipment, and seed funding.
The six-step method used to establish the areas of inter-
disciplinary strength and propel synergistic activity of the
Interdisciplinary Research Clusters:
1. Joint effort across the departments (buy-in)
2. Analysis of grants and publications (data mine)
3. Strategy Development (strategic planning)
4. Governance (credible foundation)
5. Implementation (energize around grants)
6. Maintain momentum!

Strategies for Maintaining Momentum
Moving from multi-disciplinary to inter-disciplinary
means integrated work evidenced in small ‘proof of
concept’ projects that leads to co-published articles.
o Workshops around funding themes and sponsor programs
o Network Events and Think Tank meetings
o Robust, engaged and current website
o A ‘community’ journal tackling the ‘big questions’, voicing the
hurdles from multiple perspectives.
