Helping at theGlobal researchCrossroads
Issues at the crossroads How do we find partners?
How do we find interdisciplinary scientists with common interest?
How can we work with governments? How can we create a win-win environment? How can we avoid scientific imperialism? How can we avoid the “All things are possible
with American Money syndrome”?
How can we be fair to all? How can be build a sustainable program What are the ethics of collaboration? How can we establish a research design/statistical
global help desk How can we build globalization of training? How can we find funding? How do we determine authorship/credit? How can we translate our information to the
world?
