    Transforming the University: Recommendations of the Task Force on Collaborative Research
    (University of Minnesota, 2006-05-01) Lawrenz, Frances; Paller, Mark S.
    The task force envisions a University that will be known internationally for its innovation and excellence in collaborative research and scholarship and for the ease with which collaborations are established. This substantive and culturally supportive environment will attract highly talented investigators and team leaders from all over the world. Our vision requires a new model which incorporates supportive policies and procedures and an infrastructure with facilities, equipment, and resources that fosters interaction and removes administrative and logistical barriers.
