Abstract
A number of strategies for planning a research project and organizing a competent team of clinician-scientists to execute it are discussed in this book. The “horizontal interaction” approach, illustrated by the Marburg Experiment, joins a team of basic scientists with clinicians to attack a problem. “Vertical interaction,” another effective approach, draws collaborators with differing areas of expertise into a study as it progresses.
