Many participants at this workshop acknowledged that the interdisciplinary team approach continues to be one of the hallmarks of the national laboratories today. Over the last decades, thousands of collaborative activities between the laboratories and the universities have been established, ranging from personnel exchanges, to productive research collaborations among individual investigators, to joint research programs formed around major scientific user facilities, to strategic institutes that have been established to examine new areas of scientific endeavor (nanotechnology, systems biology and global change, to name a few)

The workshop began with a session entitled "We All Agree Collaboration Is a Good Thing -- So How Can It Be Strengthened? " The presentations and discussions that followed articulated some of the dimensions of this long-term challenge: · Both university and national laboratory researchers were able to articulate the value of collaboration for individual participants and for the national research fabric, emphasizing the distinctions in "flavor" or character of research resources available to universities versus those available to the laboratories.

· Workshop presentations revealed that the institutional changes required to facilitate collaboration were sometimes at the agency level, as demonstrated by differences in agency-wide collaborative practices presented by DOD and NIST relative to DOE. They were sometimes at the level of the individual institution, as demonstrated by the widely varying degrees of institution-by-institution concern regarding specific expense categories (travel support, conference support, academic center support, and support of joint appointments)
