Description
Summary:Developing a culture of innovative thinking and one that emphasizes clinician-researcher interaction is critical for the future of rehabilitation. We designed and implemented a strategy to build a culture of interdisciplinary communication and collaboration that facilitates translational research across several disciplines in our inpatient rehabilitation hospital. We colocated clinicians and researchers in workspaces within a new hospital and created the Research Accelerator Program-a collection of team-focused initiatives that promote communication and collaboration among researchers, clinicians, and other staff. The purpose of this article is to disseminate this strategy, which has increased staff participation in research activities and increased scientific productivity of interdisciplinary research teams over the past 8 yrs.
