Abstract
Collaboration, and increasingly multidisciplinary collaboration across distances, is a fundamental and strategic component of the scientific research process. The importance of collaboration in the scientific research process has long been recognized by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the USA. Its current policy is to fund the development or purchase of specialized scientific instruments in (not-for- profit) research labs across the USA and to help fund scientists to travel to those labs to collaborate and conduct scientific experiments using these specialized scientific instruments.
