This chapter presents an overview of the three chapters (Chapters 2-4) in Part I of the book. The chapters illustrate the important contributions of multilevel integrative analyses to the understanding of these basic mechanisms and to the delineation of the etiology of cardiovascular disease. Each represents a program of research that exemplifies scientific synergism, extending beyond the technical or scientific capacity of a single investigator. Each also uses new and emerging methods and technologies that require multidisciplinary collaborations (e.g., biomedical engineers, cardiologists, biopsychologists, health psychologists).Less

This chapter suggests that multidisciplinary research covering different disciplines and organizations is essential for the success of collaborative scientific research efforts. It states that multidisciplinary collaborations need to emphasize ensuring better interpersonal relationships within a project for its success. The chapter finds that more and more experts and scientists are favouring multidisciplinary collaborations as these efforts promote innovation. It also reveals that multidisciplinary collaborations need to adopt new approaches to coordinate collaborative research efforts and achieve desired results. The chapter finds that the success of multidisciplinary collaborations will depend on better coordination between different disciplines and organizational setups.Less
