• TITLE: Facilitating Transdisciplinary Research in an Evolving Approach to Science

  AUTHORS: Fen Hunt, Suzanne Thornsbury

  KEYWORDS: Scientific Method; Transdisciplinary; Social Science; Research Funding

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Social Sciences, Vol.2 No.4, April 18, 2014

  ABSTRACT: Transdisciplinary research is changing the way research is conducted and supported by incorporating linkages between disciplinary fields, across geographic boundaries, and among scientists and broader societal stakeholder groups. There is a compelling opportunity and important role for social scientists to participate in both transdisciplinary projects addressing societal challenge issues and in research projects focused on the development of transdisciplinary project methodology and management. A shift in approach to scientific inquiry requires adjustments in institutional support structures as well as individual research projects and specific programs. US funding agencies, including the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) have clearly built trans-disciplinarity into their portfolio of research programs.
