Evaluating transdisciplinary research, like the Transdisciplinary Tobacco Use Research Centers (TTURCs), shows progress in intellectual integration and collaborative behaviors. Different centers utilize varied approaches for integration, influenced by organizational and institutional factors.

Area of Science:

  • Transdisciplinary research
  • Scientific collaboration
  • Tobacco use research

Background:

  • Growing interest and investment in transdisciplinary research teams and centers over the past two decades.
  • Transdisciplinary Tobacco Use Research Centers (TTURCs) as examples of large-scale collaborations for novel conceptual and methodological integrations.
  • Limited prior evaluation of collaborative processes and outcomes in such centers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To offer a conceptual framework for understanding and evaluating transdisciplinary science.
  • To describe two ongoing evaluation studies of the TTURC initiative's initial phase.
  • To present early findings on the collaborative processes and outcomes of TTURCs.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a conceptual framework for transdisciplinary science evaluation.

  • Implementation of two evaluation studies focusing on the TTURC initiative.
  • Data collection and analysis of collaborative processes, intellectual integration, and participant behaviors over 4 years.

    • Main Results:

    • Evidence of progress in intellectual integration within and between TTURCs.
    • Observed cumulative changes in participants' collaborative behaviors and values.
    • Identification of diverse pathways to transdisciplinary integration and influencing environmental/organizational factors.

    Conclusions:

    • Transdisciplinary research centers demonstrate progress in integration and collaboration.
    • Environmental, organizational, and institutional factors significantly impact collaboration readiness.
    • Methodological challenges in evaluating large-scale, multi-field collaborations require further attention and future research directions.
